Liverpool is to play host to a new interactive exhibition celebrating The Jam.
“About the Young Idea” will be the most comprehensive exhibition to date exploring background, political and social impact of the band.
Frontman Paul Weller says: “Liverpool was (and still is) always such a brilliant city for us to play in and it’s great that The Jam exhibition is moving there. I’m hoping everyone enjoys looking back over the good ole’ days!”
Bruce Foxton, Jam bassist, adds: “Liverpool – a fantastic City for The Jam. We enjoyed being there, now enjoy the exhibition.”
Curated by Paul’s sister Nicky alongside Russell Reader and Den Davis – the exhibition will include many never before seen items from the private archives of the band. As well as this some of the most impressive memorabilia collected by the bands’ loyal fan base will be placed on display.
The exhibition’s arrival in Liverpool follows an acclaimed exhibition that was held in London’s Somerset House last Summer.
The exhibition is being staged in the Cunard Building , and will be open to the public from Friday 1 July to Sunday 25 September.
This will be the last time it will be on view in the UK.
