The Jam - Exhibition at the BME

Let this happen there's enough. Of us to cone and view. It

The legacy of The Jam still lives on 30 years after their demise, and the unwavering loyalty of the fans like myself who lived, breathed and ate The Jam will live on forever.
The exhibition would be a fitting tribute to the most successful and relevant British band since The Beatles.

get it on,,,,

Great idea , hope it happens !!!!

Good luck Jonno! Let's teach a new breed!

what a great idea and noble cause, lets make it happen.

The Jam, regardless was one of the most prolific and influencial bands of the period, with cutting social commentary that in my opinion has not been reproduced since. Yes as Weller himself has said some were naive but still hit home hard about what it was like to live in the period. I now in my 50s, I have all the albums, that I got the boys to sign over the years of travelling the UK, Europe, and once Japan. They are some of my fondest memories of my youth, the time that all of them took to connect to their fan base, even John always said hello if he recognised you when they opened the doors to a mid afternoon soundcheck. They seriously deserve to be recognised fully for what they all added to popular music culture in the UK, and an exhibition of the same is long overdue not just for the fans of the time, but the youngsters who are hearing those albums for the first time now. From the day a tour was announced to the moment you queued for your tickets, and entry into the gig, the mood was electric, Ive not been to another that had the same dynamics or feeling as those did, and the feeling great sorrow when the boys played their last together in Brighton. To Quote "Life is timeless, days are long when you're young
You used to fall in love with everyone
Any guitar and any bass drum
Life is a drink and you get drunk when you're young...."

Best band ever .

Great idea

Great idea, well done

The jam are a band I grew up with. I have met Paul ..great man !!!
Can't wait to see this exhibition.

I have been a fan of the jam since 1978,no other band evoked such emotion as they did.It still sounds so fresh and powerful today, as it did then.
In my opinion they are right up there with the elite of the music world

Fuck knows why this is being dragged along, they sang - and still do - my whole life!

What a great band ,they meant everything to the youth of the day ,still do to some of us , it would be great to come and see the exhibition ,and relive the dreams of children

its about time, this great band got a much wider recognition for what it contributed to british culture,
The music has stood the test of time, and the youngsters of today should realise that todays top bands, have drawn a lot of their influences from the jam.

Great idea....the best band ever with their reputation still intact.

The Jam were a way of life not just a band

THE JAM are the greatest band that have ever existed and fully deserve an exhibition

Long Live THE JAM - in my opinion the greatest band of the era!!! love the lyrics love the band bring on the exhibition!!

Nice one we have to keep the music of the jam alive . Thier influence on the british music scene must never fade away .
