A great night seeing @BBGband at St. George’s in Bristol tonight. @jamthrawn @MrNormanBlake1 and Bernard Butler were all in good form showcasing their excellent album and playing some songs from their respective careers. Thanks to all three for taking the time to chat after.
It was great to see @SportsTeam_ at @RoughTrade Bristol this afternoon playing songs from their excellent new album ‘Boys These Days’.
Always giving back @Beenie1989. Go well.

After receiving the amazing news from my son that he’s a semi finalist in the ‘Best Original Score’ category for the film ‘A Wives Tale’ at the Cannes Independent Short Film Festival he then added that he was “..really getting into The Jam” 😎🙏❤️@NewWaveAndPunk @jillwebb2005
Connor is an inspiration. All the best with your fund raising for the @LordsTaverners

A great night in Bristol last night. Many thanks Bruce @FromtheJam1 @RussellHastings for a top gig. Lots of emotions in the room as we all remembered and celebrated Rick. @NewWaveAndPunk @jillwebb2005 @70sMod @paul1964Jam
Just arrived. Now playing. A superb album. Many congrats @jamthrawn @BBGband
Loved reading the updated version of this excellent book. A fascinating read about a hugely talented artist. @RichardBalls @NewWaveAndPunk @jillwebb2005
Very proud of my son Harry and his band ‘Occulent’ getting their first gig review. Harry plays lead guitar in the band.
It’s heartbreaking to see what Lauren is going through. She's been incredibly strong while facing cancer. If you can, please consider donating to help ease her family's burden. Every little bit helps. Please share. gofund.me/c09027f9
Please share! #FuneralPyreNumber1 let’s all stream, download Funeral Pyre as a great display of Rick’s legendary drumming @prodnose @mikebrewer @MikeReadUK @theJeremyVine @guyhelliker @BBC6Music youtu.be/EndqhHJx-Ko?si…
So sad to hear the news about Rick Buckler passing away. His drumming was an integral part of The Jam. A top person. Thanks for so many amazing memories. RIP Rick.
