Hi Matt, Just wanted to say The New Age Jam were great! Really friendly bunch of lads and a fantastic tribute to the real band themselves. Everyone commented on their performance and how good they were and we wouldn't hesitate booking them again should the occasion suit. Thanks again.
A review from The BBC 'The Stockton Riverside festival'
The many moods of the Modfather were up next as the Paul Weller Trilogy swaggered on stage. With a voice to match the former Jam and Style Council front man himself we were taken through the legends brilliant back-catalogue including ‘You Do Something to Me’, ‘Wild Wood’, ‘That’s Entertainment’ and ‘The Changing Man’.
A Coming together of ages" Reviewed by The Collective Magazine Oct issue
The new age Jam's superb performance at Darlington's new music venue centre The Forum brought a diverse crowd to appreciate the sounds of the Mod revivalists, who to a man wished they could be like David Watts. It was pogo down memory lane for the older crowd (screaming out numerous choruses of "we are the mods...we are, we are, we are the mods!" a la Quadrophenia, and for the younger it was a near a chance as possible to hear The Jam's original sound live. The Tribute band played with consummate ability and with no small measure of genuine enthusiasm to a packed Forum performance room. In two sets and a encore their sound was true to the original and their energy infectious, the crowd baying for the classics and being reminded of the whole of The Jam's repertoire as they mixed in some of the lesser known, but no less appreciated numbers. The crowd was in full flow from start to finish, creating a powerful atmosphere to match the strong, full sound from the Forums newly installed sound system. Mark "Paul Weller" delivered The Jam's numerous hits, from ‘Down in the Tube Station at Midnight’ through a stunning rendition of ‘In the City’, stopping off in ‘A Town Called Malice’, with a authentic swagger and a suitably husky voice, and was matched word for word and for gusto by the assorted Jam appreciators. On a night primed with Fire and Skill the encore began with ‘Eton Rifles’ and epitomised the tone of the gig, powered out clear and note perfect to the sell out crowd leaping and singing as if they were listening to the original band. As with any act of this calibre, the audience was left clamouring for more.

The new age Jam who for their part provided a well polished performance. "AS GOOD AS IT GETS FOR A TOP TRIBUTE BAND."

By the evening the marquee were packed with a huge crowd present to watch a Knackered Dukesy take a rest to allow The new age Jam take to the stage. Now I don't much like The Jam, and like tribute bands even less. In fact, I can't see the point in pulling off good DJ'S to replace with bands. However I will eat Humble Pie on this occasion, because this lot were very, very good indeed, HIGHLEY PROFESSIONAL, In fact as tribute bands go I rank them as the best around at the moment. The dance floor was packed through there set. "Well done Boys"
Review by Kate Staines Hambleton Leisure Centre
More than 200 people packed into the Forum to see the 130-minute sets. New Age Jam is nationally recognised as one of the best Jam tribute bands around - and with Mark Simpson playing a frighteningly accurate Paul Weller (in looks as well as voice) it's not hard to see why. Paul Anderson (Bruce Foxton) was spot on with bass and drummer, Kev Bacon, (Rick Buckler) performed with great enthusiasm and energy. All the Jam classics were there – ‘Going Underground’, ‘Down in the Tube Station at Midnight’ and ‘Strange Town’. Add to them the distinctive ‘A Town Called Malice’ and ‘The Eton Rifles’ and the audience was going wild as each track was played out as accurately as the one before it. Listening to the Rickenbacker guitars - used along with Vox amps to recreate that distinctive sound - it was hard to believe it wasn't 1977 again with the real Paul Weller, Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler in the room.
A review by ED. WAUGH - Tribute good as real thing
There are two essential aspects to a successful tribute band:- Firstly, to acknowledge a group that people want to hear and secondly to sound like the band in question. A third factor to look like your heroes helps, but it's not that crucial. The new age Jam meet all three criteria, trust me. As someone who saw The Jam five times between 1977 and 1981 these boys are the nearest you'll get to the real thing. Nationally hailed as one of the best in the business, the lads from Teeside have built a large following throughout this region, with South Shields being one of their favourite areas. The brilliance of Paul Weller is laid bare in The new age Jam's energetic set. From 1977's In the City through to 1982's The Gift, taking in A Bomb in Wardour St, Down In the Tube station, Strange Town and many more Classics. And what a high to finish on, The Distinctive riff to A Town Called Malice sent the place wild. Thank you Paul Weller, and Thank You The New Age Jam.
