Bruce Foxton rolled back the years as From The Jam celebrated 35 years of Setting Sons at Kingsmeadow on Saturday.

Lead singer Russell Hastings told the crowd the band always look out for their Kingston date each year and it is obvious why.

Few bands can provoke such a vibrant reaction from its fans, a healthy mix of aging mod revivalists and pockets of twenty-somethings.

Foxton and his band rattled through Setting Sons, igniting the crowd with tunes such as The Eton Rifles and Smithers-Jones.

It was hot, it was sweaty, it was frenetic and that is everything you would come to expect from the intimate Kingsmeadow venue.

If it was not already, it was certainly a case of "Paul who?" by the time Down In The Tube Station At Midnight got the room rocking - literally.

"We are the mods, we are the mods, we are, we are, we are the mods", chanted the crowd.

Perhaps, given the rise in the music and fashion, we could be on the brink of the third wave of the British mod.

For those who missed out, Bruce and the boys will be back next year on December 12, with their Sound Affects II tour.
