A new book coming soon – Solid Bond in Your Heart: A People’s History of The Jam by Malcolm Wyatt.
It’s a 288-page hardback book, and the subject matter is pretty obvious – it’s a look at The Jam and just why the band meant so much to the people who loved them and were associated with them. Or even part of The Jam.
Over 500 fans and associates of The Jam share memories of more than 200 concerts in the book, with the added bonus of 150 photos of the band and rarely-seen memorabilia within. There’s also a foreword by Paul Weller too.
Contributions to the book include the likes of Bruce Foxton, Rick Buckler, Steve Brookes, Steve Carver, Paolo Hewitt, Mick Talbot, Debsey Wykes (Dolly Mixture), Ray Gange (Rude Boy), Den Davis, Ian Prowse, Howard Smith, Dave Fenton & Ed Bazalgette (The Vapors), John Robb (The Membranes), Brett Ascott (The Chords), Billy Doherty & Mickey Bradley (The Undertones), Dave Hemingway (Housemartins/ Beautiful South), Attila The Stockbroker, Nicky Weller and broadcaster Gary Crowley.
And it’s all in a book that lands on 16th May 2025. You can pre-order now, with the price at £24.95.
