One day when we were Jam fans, me and my mates took a train from Aldershot to Woking and walked around town asking where Paul Weller lived. We were directed to Stanley Road and actually knocked on the door. His Mum, Ann, opened the door and welcomed us in. I can't believe we imposed on this woman like that. She was very nice to us. Gave us a bunch of black and white pictures of the band and showed us on our way.
@@duckbrew Can’t remember but Sound Affects was out and we were all nutters for Paul, Bruce and Rick. Paul’s Mum told us “He’s living up in London now”.
Woking A ? Didn't see enough of it but You can pick it up on other videos & photos. I remember it with great fondness because many of my people were there for a long time, although I was a Reading boy. My time was the 1940s/ 50s onwards, Dads people over at Kingfield, Loop Road & my Mums over at Board School Road, had great fun walking, Cycling, around. Remember the walk across Boundary Common, across Chertsey Road with the sound of sawing from Spantons Wood Yard on the canal, through the woods to Wheatsheaf Common ,across Chobham Road to the Wheatsheaf pub. So much. Lovely countryside, shoot round to the Westfield shops from my Grans, down Old Woking shops. Wonderful. Won't bore you with a lot but remember the 'Cards' hoisting the Amateur Cup i 1958, got all the programmes from that run although I was not at the games, all the reports from the News & Mail. Charlie Mortimore/ Geoff Hamm etc. Having finished National Service in 1962 I met my future wife through my relative Jenny. Not generally interested in females romantically as I had seen & heard too many things. But Marilyn ??, holy cow, she knocked me speechless. Well, pretty near. We were together nigh 60 years, it was never long enough. I am boring you now so I shall stop. But Woking will always be in my heart.
Takes me back to my youth, scooter meetings in the Tropicana, singing we are the mods down Weston sea front and playing The Jam full blast. God I miss those days.
Here's to those of us who actually had afternoon tea in the Lite a Bite, that was our 'Greggs' back then. Great days, and glad to of seen the Jam on every tour from All Mod Cons to the last but one Wembley gigs.
I love every thing Paul Weller as done and reading lots of Pauls interviews raveing about Steve Marriott and small faces I gave them a listen got to say they are the best mod band they had everything great band with arguably one of the best vocalists Paul modeld his self on Marriott watch vids on UA-cam you will see what I mean small faces and the jam still my faves followed by the who
All Are Yesterday's had a copy back in 82 - wish I could find another - it was through that mag Paul turned me and I'm sure many people on to the Small Faces . I was lucky enough to see there last sand - " in Brighton of course " .
Yes it’s fantastic - really appreciated your encouragement and tips when I started - and the shout out that helped start the growth (I had a couple of hundred subs then 😮) It’s taken a year of steady work and now know what my audience like - all filming was done on a phone so now am going to invest in a proper camera 🎥 Have a great Christmas 🤶 Oh and I’m working on a new channel too with a different focus 🤫
First gig I ever went to was The Jam at Southampton Gaumont ( Setting Sons Tour). This was a great walk around their old stomping ground. There won't be a better Jam guide on the planet than Tufty. Duly subscribed.
I used to work in Dukes Court and drank in the Liberal Club and Workingmens' club. I also remember Collectors Records in High Street that had a little sign "prop Liza Radley".
🌟 Wonderfui Woking.Many a Happy day I spent in that dear little Town..👍🌟✊💜😎 "SPARKLING NIGHTLIFE & ENTERTAINMENT." Sign at the top of subway steps going under Woking Station, Station Approach side.. 🚂💨•••• Wonder where that sign went...?🔘➡️✊
me and my mate done our jam tour in 89, the same as yours, we got in the working mens club by saying we are jam fans, also stanley road houses where just about to be demolished, walked in the first house in stanley road? completly stripped, i believe that was pauls? 2006 i worked with roger piling in chichester, good tour tufty
I get that Steve (Tufty) was a mate of Paul's first and foremost, but it really disappoints me that everyone keeps on about Weller like he was the only member of the Jam. I note that while in Sheerwater, nothing mentioned about Bruce's house in Albert Drive, nor Paul's (Rick's) house in the Kingsway. Like it or not, the Jam was a Woking Band of 3 members and without every one of their inputs or efforts, the Jam wouldn't have ever been anything more than a cover band (which they started out as) ... Please ... if anyone wants to know about the Jam and Woking, lets recognise the band as a whole and not Paul like some kind of lone messiah. After all ... I couldn't really picture Paul doing the drum track on "Funeral Pyre", nor did he write "News of The World" that was the theme tune for "Mock The Week" for many years. The other 2 boys DID make an input and affect the sound.
When The Jam came to Leeds i was the one with two other girls who wrote PAUL WELLER IS INNOCENT on the Leeds Town Hall steps . Paul mentioned it in his book .
Coventry has a two tone village , museum, shop restaurant themes to their ska heros,the specials and others All financially helped by the coventry city council.To promote Coventry heritage.. Why does Woking not have something similar for The jam tufty, your tour looks so amateurish.Need merchandise,literature, watering holes restsurants on the tour.The jam fans are achievers, they have money. Paul weller has influenced his fans, in so many ways.Hard working creativity and respect

Who remembers Turners of Woking
I used to walk my dog with him about 30 years ago in Goldsworth Park,got to know him and his wife very well.
Great story 🙏
Tidy!
How about the Tour include the Wheatsheaf where Dave Waller died and a few other places related to the lyrics...
Great video,what was the fist jam song played in this at the beginning?
