Old rockers reforming bands is one thing, but reforming without the original singer, songwriter and inspiration is a supreme test, particularly in the case of the Jam.

Having sold out 20 dates in May this year, Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler, the other two members of Jam, have secured the services of keyboard player Dave Moore and Russell Hastings on guitar and vocals, and are currently playing three gigs in Spain, before a further 22 dates in the UK.

The final gig at the Brighton Centre on 21st December, will coincide with the original bands last ever gig at the same venue.
