About the Bootleg Jam
The second best band in the world, delivering the authentic live sound of The Jam with ‘Fire & Skill’!
From the opening chord of their first rehearsal, it was clear that The Bootleg Jam had serious potential. Most importantly, though, the shared enthusiasm of playing the songs of a band they all admire – minus any ego – was the musical ‘shot in the arm’ they were looking for.
Everyone in the band is avid fan of The Jam. They’re all passionate about authentically replicating their legendary and hugely influential back catalogue with ‘Fire and Skill’, as the band themselves did so brilliantly in their pomp.
The Band
Mark Anderson (Bass and Vocals)
“The music of the Jam came into my life at around eleven-years-old, when I first started taking music seriously. It occurred to me in later years how lucky we were. We love being able to carry the flame for such an iconic British band. It’s an absolute blast.”
Paul Jarrett (Drums and Occasional BVs)
“I’ve been drumming since I was thirteen-years-old, when my late Dad bought me my first drum kit. It was drummers like Rick Buckler, John Bradbury (The Specials) and Mark Brzezicki (Big Country, The Cult) who first inspired me to pick-up a pair of drum sticks in the first place, so now having the opportunity to pay homage to Rick’s great playing in The Bootleg Jam is an absolute pleasure and privilege. Between 1998 and 2013, I played drums with The Upbeat Beatles, an opportunity that allowed me to travel the world and play for a range of clients such as IBM and the Jordanian Royal Family. I also play drums with tvfordogs, a London-based alt. rock band. We’ve released five albums, the latest of which – ‘I onIy wanted to make you cry’ – is available here“.
Paul Moroney (Guitar and Vocals)
“I first saw the Jam play at the 100 club in August 1977 when I was thirteen-years-old – I was sold. After my teens and twenties, playing in originals bands as the main songwriter and singer, I “fell” into the Beatle tribute world in the early 1990s (Lennon), the highlight of which was playing to 104,000 people at McKenzie Park in Lubbock, Texas backed by a 144-piece orchestra. After a three-year hiatus, I decided to dip my toes back in the water with my pals to form the second best band in the world – The Bootleg Jam.”
