Mark Stelfox in conversation with Oldham Chronicle journalist Simon Smedley

JUST over three weeks on from the Oldham music event of the year — the return of The Jam Restart — the band’s popular front-man Mark Stelfox still wears a huge smile when speaking about it. It was a most memorable of gigs at the Uppermill Civic Hall as the band — Stelfox, bassist Mike Greatbanks and drummer Stuart Reid — re-emerged from a decade-long exile with the help of Cupids’ favourite Jake Fletcher on keys. Listen to Stelfox speaking exclusively to Oldham Chronicle music journalist Simon Smedley about THAT night, his other ongoing musical project - Spark - and his increasingly popular Oldham open-mic nights.
