EP53 - Steve Brookes - Singer, Songwriter - The Jam Co-Founder - ”Take me back there again, let me feel the same way...”

My latest guest is Steve Brookes - co-founder of The Jam
with his childhood best mate Paul Weller.


We talk about those early days of The Jam - writing songs,
recording demos and gigging around Surrey.


We find out why he left the band in September 1975 and took a
long break from music and performing before his return in 2008.


We chat about Steve's approach to music, his friendship with Paul
and their work together in recent years.


You can hear Steve playing on Paul's albums - 22 Dreams, Wake Up
the Nation, Saturns Pattern, Jawbone, True Meanings, On Sunset
and Fat Pop (Volume 1) so dive back in to those to spot his work!
