The Jam: About the Young Idea

Paul Weller’s dapper mod-punk trio The Jam are the stars of a dedicated exhibition at Somerset House, which traces their progress from school in Woking to era-defining prominence in the late ’70s and early ’80s. ‘About the Young Idea’ includes items from the personal archives of all three members of the band – handwritten lyrics and scrapbooks, clothes, instruments, unseen photographs and footage, letters, posters and more – so that even hardcore fans should get a new perspective on this iconic London band.
