From The Jam: Bruce Foxton & Rick Buckler 2008 North American Tour Dates

From The Jam: Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler, two thirds of the original line-up of The Jam, embarked on a major 23-date UK tour in November and December 2007. The autumn tour followed hot on the heels of the band's sold-out 20-date UK tour during May of the same year. During 2007, the band played to over 60,000 people in the UK. The overall reaction from the fans has been phenomenal.

The band recently announced a major North American tour which begins on 24th January 2008 at the House of Blues in San Diego, California. The 14-date tour takes in Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Anaheim, Chicago, to name but a few. Special guest on all North American dates is Hugh Cornwell, formerly the original singer and guitarist of The Stranglers.

Is Hugh taking Weller's place then? I'm sure they do sound good but it's almost like a covers band... but what material to cover... I still love to hear The Jam (got all the albums plus singles/extras).

[Mad Mojo Marmalade]

Hi Becca, Not sure if Hugh's taking Weller's place. Wish I knew someone who caught this to get a rundown. I'm not sure if they're doing strictly Jam songs either & how much of the catalog will be covered. Let me know if you hear any more details. Below are some comments regarding the same topic I posted at the Hideout. Hope you can read them without problems.

Foxton and Buckler already have a Weller replacement so it's highly doubtful that Hugh is going to be joining them on Jam tunes. Cornwell has had his own solo career going for some time now; my guess is he'll focus on that for these shows.

[clearlight]

Yeah, I don't think Hugh would be very comfortable singing some of those lame Jam songs...
