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 nationwide this year with his authentic and passionate interpretation in performance (vocals and guitar) of The Jam's back catalogue.
Russell grew up on The Jam and this is evident in his attention to every detail, from the Rickenbacker to the Marshall 4x4 everything as it was and should be. Energy,pride,execution and dynamic delivery have created an anticipation for 2007 as he collaborates with Bruce and Rick on their reformation.

RICK BUCKLER (born Paul Richard Buckler, 6 December 1955, in Woking, Surrey, England), was the drummer and founding member of The Jam, a band forever live in Rock and Roll history,that reigned from 1977 until disbanding in 1982. The drums and bass guitar of Rick and Bruce were an integral part of the Jam's sound and success. The Jam split with Paul Weller choosing to leave the band in 1982.
In 1983, Buckler joined 'Time UK', featuring himself, Jimmy Edwards and Ray Simone, both formally of 'MasterSwitch', as well as Danny Kustow from the Tom Robinson Band and Nick South of both the Yoko Ono Band and Steve Marriot's All Stars.
Time UK sold nearly 60,000 copies of their first single, "The Cabaret". Buckler was reunited with ex Jam bassist and Time UK's Jimmy Edwards as 'Sharp', who recorded some songs for the Unicorn record label. These rare recordings have subsequently been re-issued on a Time UK anthology.
After Time UK's demise, Rick left the music business and indulged his passion in carpentry/cabinet making.This was well documented and publicised on Granada TV's "After They Were Famous."
On 6th January 2009 it was announced that Dave Moore has left the band to persue a business opportunity.
Rick, Bruce and Russell would like to thank Dave for his contribution to the band and wish him every success.
