The Jam to tour UK

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

the NME wrote:Paul Weller is absent from a reunion of The Jam.

Bassist and drummer Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckley are set to undertake the first UK tour under the name "The Jam" in May.
Tell you what lads, don't bother.

I feel bad for them, especially after the way that cnut Weller left the Jam, not by telling the rest of the band, but by announcing it in (IIRC) the NME. (I've never really forgiven him for that...)

But come on, dead horse...

Yes they do seem to need the money, saw them originally at their farewell show at Guildford Civic Hall which wasn't their last gig as they then added Brighton Centre (if my memory serves me well) I did enjoy Malcolm Mclaren and his dancers which was the support act, those dancers could have chosen less revealing tops!

He was in SLF for about Ten or Twelve years I think, he didn't play on the last year.
