The Start! are a 3 piece band playing the sound and music of The Jam. They capture the passion and aggression of that seminal trio without turning to cabaret, pastiche or simple imitation.

No dodgy wigs, no pretending to BE The Jam for THIS band!

Just pure, athletic performance, passion, power and energy where it matters - playing the music live on stage.

Of all the bands that claim to be a “Jam Tribute” act - The Start! Are the only band to actually play on stage WITH  original Jam bassist Bruce Foxton and drummer Rick Buckler’s lead vocalist Russell Hastings - of From The Jam, belting out the classics “In The City” and “The Modern World” as well as “Eton Rifles” live to the delight of a rapturous crowd.

Not a claim to fame - it simply goes to show how good The Start! are with an endorsement like that!

The Start! make a fantastic night of entertainment for

any fan of Paul Weller and The Jam - and any true mod looking to

re-experience all the energy, the power and passion of the punk/new wave explosion of 1979   

Belting out the hits  “Going Underground”  and  “Start!” as well as “Down in the Tube Station” along with the anthem “That’s Entertainment”, the power and fury of “A-Bomb in Wardour Street”   The Start! also  include such Jam  classics as “Mr. Clean”, “To Be Someone” and the mod standout “Boy About Town” in their 30 song, 97 minute set.

If you remember those awesome days - when The Jam, and punk  & new wave music was at it’s very best - The Start! bring  those days back to life and how! If you were never there, well now you can  find out what it  was really like. And have a great time  in the process!

As a live act, The Start! are being recognised by real Jam fans as a band that retain the spirit, the attitude, the aggression  and passion of  a young Weller and Co. Just witness their ferocious live performance for yourself and you’ll see why.

Any true mod, punk or new wave fan  will have a  fantastic night. And anyone under the age of 25 will see that the late 70’s/early 80’s gave much, much more to music than dodgy hair cuts and cheesy songs!

Come and see The Start! live and rediscover passion, Fire& Skill...

“I played live with Rick and Bruce for 7 years - never played live with anyone else - but performing live with The Start! I honestly couldn’t tell the difference!”*
