Rick Buckler: Music, Memories and The Jam will feature live music and stories to remember the iconic drummer. The event will be raising funds for Woking & Sam Beare Hospice Wellbeing Care, who cared for Rick in his final days in February 2025.

Amongst the confirmed artists are Ian Prowse, A Band Called Malice, Steve Brookes, The Highliners, Pretty Green and famous modcast DJ Eddie Pillar will entertain the audience.

The evening will be hosted by well-known Radio DJ and presenter Mike Read.

The Jam fans will hear stories from guests including Dennis Munday, who worked at Polydor Records, and Peter Wilson, who worked as a producer for the band. Rick’s Premier white drum kit will be played by the musicians throughout the evening.

Rick’s daughter, Holly, said: “We are so grateful as a family for the incredible support and love shown for Dad. This event is an opportunity to bring together fans, friends and fellow musicians to celebrate an amazing drummer and the lasting legacy Rick leaves.”

Bruce Foxton, bassist in The Jam, said: “I feel very lucky and privileged to have known Rick and to have performed with him as much as I did over the years. We had a lot of laughs and it’s a part of my life that I’ll remember and cherish forever.”
