'Sound Affects' 40th Anniversary
+ THE SELECTER
'Too Much Pressure' 40th Anniversary
AGMP presents
FROM THE JAM + THE SELECTER
- Event Cancelled.
-
From The Jam is comprised of legendary former ‘The Jam’ bassist Bruce Foxton, vocalist & guitarist Russell Hastings, drummer Mike Randon, and Andy Fairclough on Hammond and piano.
This Autumn, From the Jam will be celebrating the 40th Anniversary of The Jam’s 3rd studio album, 'All Mod Cons', playing it in it’s entirety. As well as classics such as ‘Down In The Tube Station At Midnight’ and ‘A Bomb In Wardour Street’ the band are also excited about playing ‘Billy Hunt’, ‘Mr Clean’ and more.
In 2007 Russell Hastings was fronting ‘The Gift’ (which featured Rick Buckler) when he was joined on stage by Bruce Foxton (who was touring with Casbah Club) for a ‘one off’ performance. This performance sparked the genesis of From The Jam, and an enduring partnership between Foxton & Hastings.
Off-stage Bruce Foxton and Russell Hastings wrote the album, ‘Back In The Room’ released in 2012, which received critical acclaim and solidified Foxton & Hastings as an excellent and contemporary song writing duo. They then returned to the studio in 2016 to record and release ‘Smash The Clock’, which reached number 31 in the UK charts.
At the end of 2017, Bruce Foxton & Russell Hastings released the 'From the Jam Live!' album which celebrated the 10th anniversary of From the Jam's inception.

The Selecter is led by their iconic frontwoman Pauline Black OBE. One of very few women in the 2-Tone scene, she is often referred to as the Queen of Ska. Known the world over for hits including “Three Minute Hero,” “Missing Words,” “Too Much Pressure” and “On My Radio” The Selecter continue to tour and release new music proving that 2-Tone is still as relevant and important as it was 40 years ago.
A new feature documentary Pauline Black: A 2-Tone Story directed by Jane Mingay had its premiere at the BFI’s London Film Festival in October 2024 followed by regional screenings with the Doc N Roll Film Festival. Based on her memoir ‘Black by Design’, Pauline tells her extraordinary life story in the same frank manner that helped shape her as an iconic, era-defining female musician. It’s a highly cinematic documentary that uses interviews and archive material plus a variety of contributors sourced from a wide swathe of the British music and artistic scene. The film was shown in 60 Odeon cinemas around the UK in March 2025 and then on Sky Arts and NOW TV. It’s also being shown internationally at film festivals around the world this year including Copenhagen, Berlin and Barcelona.
The Selecter play a number of shows and festivals around the UK & Europe including on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury in 2025. Original drummer Charley ‘Aitch’ Bembridge plays at the current live Selecter line-up who have been celebrating the 45th anniversary of their debut album Too Much Pressure this year.The anarchic passion that fuelled Selecter gigs during the original 2-Tone era is still there as they continue to perform at festivals and venues around the world heading into 2026.
