Two-Thirds Of The Jam Reuniting For Tour

This slightly old news at this point but thought it worth posting. From Billboard.com, a story about Rick Buckler & Bruce Foxton touring the UK as "From the Jam: Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler."

The Jam bassist Bruce Foxton and drummer Rick Buckler are reuniting for a tour, minus the group's most famous member, Paul Weller, under the moniker "From the Jam: Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler." The duo, who will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Jam's debut, "In the City," will be joined by singer/guitarist Russell Hastings and guitarist/keyboardist Dave Moore on a U.K. that runs through May.

The summer dates listed there, were recently appended with todays announcement of some more UK winter dates (courtesy of cmumusicnetwork.co.uk:

THE JAM TOUR

'The Jam' have announced a 21 date winter tour, possibly due to the great response to their summer dates, which have been selling out pretty quickly. I say 'The Jam', as opposed to The Jam, because as previously reported, only Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler are involved, because Paul Weller, of course, sees no point in a reunion. In fact, he said that he'd have to be "destitute" before he'd be moved do it. I expect Foxton and Buckler are slightly closer to destitution than Weller, so perhaps that's why they do see the point. Not that I'm saying that they're actually broke or
anything - I suspect they're nothing of the sort. And even less so now, what with
all these sell out gigs and all.
