About the Young Idea: The Jam Exhibition.

...

Exploring the background, politics and social impact of The Jam, About the Young Idea, curated by Nicky Weller, Den Davies and Russell Reader has been one of the most exciting musical exhibitions of the year, with Liverpool being the perfect - however strange - setting for the showcase.

Opening at Somerset house last year, the exhibition has had a busy first month in operation at it's new home at the Cunard Building which will be the final location for any fans to catch the event in the UK.

Nicky Weller said: “Last year at Somerset House we were taken aback at how the fans reacted to the exhibition.

“People from around the world got in contact saying that they wanted to see more, so we have spent the last year working on this show which is without doubt the most in depth look at the band there has been.”

Venturing there on Sunday, the exhibition was full of live footage, unseen before interviews and fan memorabilia spread out in the classic interior of the Cunard. Famous nods to Eric's and the Liverpool Echo were also available to ogle at.

With select times to choose from when booking your tickets, there's no rush to go around the space - which helps especially when you want a photograph with each piece of Jam history,

The edition of a full-length documentary, coffee, gift and clothes shops at the end of the tour, add to its allure with signed prints from the likes of Donovan and Arctic Monkeys for sale.

There is also a nice 10% off Pretty Green voucher for anyone who pops into the exhibition - another plus!

The Modfather himself, Paul Weller best summed up the exhibition: "Liverpool was (and still is) always such a brilliant city for us to play in and its great that The Jam exhibition is moving there. 

"I’m hoping everyone enjoys looking back over the good ole’ days!"

Tickets are £9.50 and available here.
