Russell Hastings

RUSSELL HASTINGS (born 6th July 1965, Sussex England) has been working with Rick Buckler since November 2005.
A musician/vocalist in his own right Russell has shocked audiences worldwide this year with his powerful and passionate interpretation of The Jam's songs fitting in admirably alongside Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler and now the new frontman of "From The Jam"
Audiences worldwide have accepted Russell in the unenviable job that was thought impossible
"Its a great pleasure and an honour to play those songs with Rick and Bruce, and to meet the fans that the songs mean so much to!"
Look out for new material later this year!
DVD RELEASE - JUNE 2008
A totally sold-out and rapturously-received From The Jam show was recorded in December 2007 at London’s Kentish Town Forum and will be released as the “‘A First Class Return’ From The Jam”, DVD on 9 June 2008 through Invisible Hands Music.
This release captures the truly electric celebratory atmosphere, the band’s pervasive love of the songs plus the incredible crowd participation and feedback.
Below is one track taken from the DVD.....
