no member of the jam played in this band. The Jam were Bruce Foxton, Rick Buckler and Paul Weller.

@noutousne I can't think of any Aussies that played in English new wave bands (accept The Lurkers) - I can think of plenty of UK Glam POP bands that featured Aussies (Fox, Pussycat, New Seekers, etc).... UK Punk/New Wave bands were bigger footy supporters, hence the few Aussies welcomed in the UK scene.

I will have to ask Mick when that was but it would be well before 1990. I was in a band with him around 1990 with Mark Harvey (also Mannequins) on drums. Only a few tracks ever recorded and never had a final mix when that band fell apart. The project was called Insomnia (the nightmare you have while awake) and played only a handful of gigs.

[nzoz1980]

@shortsrock awesome! A band name I can add the list of bands he played with... that's what I do.. I upload Aussie music and write each band the members played in.

How can so few (nzoz) bring so much (a literal library of priceless music history) to so many (us ingrates) for so little (occasional praise)?

[jonnightrain]

nzoz you are doing good work uploading, sharing the knowledge bring back many memories. thank you.

[ManFromMelbourne]

The bass player for the Jam is now in Irish punk band Stiff Little Fingers.

[nzoz1980]

[shortsrock]
