From The Jam at Tivoli Venue

Last November i was gutted i'd missed seeing From The Jam live at Tivoli Venue in Buckley, I had been determined there was no way i was going to miss seeing them this year on there return. A totally fab excuse to dig out my old scooter gear and relive my youth. I had been excited since the Tiv announced From The Jam would return this year. When November 26th arrived i was feeling like my Christmas had come early! Digging out my old faithful scooter jacket full of 80s rally patches i headed off to the Tivoli with my partner in crime Jan. A totally amazing atmosphere greeted us on arrival, that's not unusual at the Tiv to be honest. Heading straight to the bar we quickly grabbed Our drinks, by this time the place was filling up fast so we headed off to the VIP area in order to hit social media by storm!! The support act was by now on stage and trust me the crowd totally loved this young dude, Who i later found out goes by the name of Luke Gallagher , Luke is a si...
