This performance s parked the genesis of From The Jam\, and an enduring partnership between F oxton &\; Hastings.\nOff-stage Foxton and Hastings wrote the album\, ‘Back In The Room’ released in 2012\, which received critical acclaim and solidified Foxton &\; Hastings as an excellent and contemporary son g writing duo. They then returned to the studio in 2016 to record and rele ase ‘Smash The Clock’\, which reached number 31 in the UK charts. The album also entered the independent album chart at number 4\, whilst the vi nyl edition entered the vinyl chart at number 7.\n“From The Jam\, best n ight out I have had in years all The Jam hits and more done to perfection what's not to love!?” - Alan McGee\, Creation Management\nOn December 1s t 2017\, to celebrate 10 years since From The Jam formed \, Bruce Foxton a nd Russell Hastings released From ‘The Jam Live!’\, featuring songs pe rformed at various venues across the UK.\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://xyzbrighton.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/ 10/From-The-Jam-Live-2-800x534-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Live Music LOCATION:\, \, X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=\, ;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TI TLE=:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20181028T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
