Jamie Telford - Touring Keyboardist for The Jam (1982)

Jamie Telford joins the podcast to take us behind the scenes of The Jam’s frenetic final days. As a Scottish musician brought in on keyboards for their last run of shows and the farewell single 'Beat Surrender,' Jamie experienced firsthand the thrill of playing with one of the UK’s biggest bands just as internal tensions and creative restlessness threatened to pull them apart. He shares candid stories of wild gigs, backstage chaos, life on the road, and the unique energy of touring with The Jam during their dramatic curtain call in 1982.Now best known as the songwriter and performer behind My Glass World, Jamie looks back at his own career evolution and lasting admiration for Paul Weller’s songwriting craft. This is a rare glimpse into a turning point of British pop history, told by someone who lived it from the wings - full of wit, insight, and a few hard-earned lessons about creativity, band life, and moving forward as an artist.Find podcast show notes and sign up for regular information at PaulWellerFanPodcast.com Hosted on Acast.
