It’s a huge honour to be able to bring you this podcast chat as
I’m joined by The Jam legend, Bruce Foxton.

A man whose bass lines, and style of playing, are amongst some of
the most recognisable on the planet. Often identifiable after
just a few notes.

Down at the Tube Station at Midnight, In The Crowd, The Eton
Rifles, Funeral Pyre, Pretty Green, Going Underground... I could
easily go on...We hear how he joined the band - a line up of Paul
Weller, Rick Buckler and Steve Brookes in 1974 and his viewpoint
on the band's incredible journey through live gigs and studio
recordings to their huge success and, quite rightly, a whole heap
of moments that he is massively proud of.

We also get the story of the band's split in 1982 from his point
of view and the subsequent recording and release of his first
solo album - Touch Sensitive - in 1984.

I was lucky enough to be in the audience when Bruce joined Paul
Weller’s solo show in 2010 for a very special night at London’s
Royal Albert Hall so hearing the story of the reconnection of
their friendship after so many years of no communication was
fascinating.We also chat about From The Jam and the new Bruce
Foxton and Russell Hastings album The Butterfly Effect which is
set for release on Friday October 28th. You can order at
