Lovers of good time music should head over to the Robin 2.

In November 1979 The Jam released their classic album Setting Sons and the single The Eton Rifles – their first top ten hit. Long regarded as a masterpiece – “The last great album of the seventies” according to Record Mirror – Setting Sons was the album that set the Jam firmly on the road to lasting success.

To celebrate the album’s 35th anniversary From the Jam, featuring original Jam bass player Bruce Foxton, guitarist/vocalist Russell Hastings and drummer Steve Barnard, will perform the seminal album in its entirety. As well as a thrilling performance of Settings Sons the audience can expect a selection of hits and album tracks from the Jam’s back catalogue and songs from Bruce Foxton’s own solo career.

Bruce said, “The whole idea of playing an album in full has really taken off for us and has brought back so many great memories, they were great times for the band then and I love the idea of bringing that excitement and thrill back onstage. We will also of course play the hits and more to make what I think will be a great night.”

From the Jam play the Robin on Friday 28th November. Tickets £20

Then on 11th December there’s a band who can truly be described as larger than life. Bad Manners, fronted by the inimitable Buster Bloodvessel, enjoyed a string of hits with ska classics that might not have been true to the origins of the music but were undeniably catchy.

Still touring regularly around the world, they’re just the thing to get ready for the run-up to the festive season.

Tickets £20

This will be a full theatre show, with two sets of hits galore, guaranteed to start Christmas in the right way.
