In 2006, Rick Buckler formed a band named the Gift playing material from the Jam with musicians Russell Hastings and David Moore.

In 2006, Bruce Foxton performed on stage with the Gift at their concerts in Chichester, Brighton and Birmingham, which rekindled rumours of a full or partial reunion of the Jam in 2007, for the 30th anniversary of the band's signing.

A complete concert, recorded at the London Astoria in December 2007, was released on DVD through London-based indie label Invisible Hands Music in November 2008.

[2] Moore left the band in early 2009, releasing an album with Matt Douglass in April the following year on Invisible Hands Music, under the name the Squire Circle.

[7] Foxton collaborated with Hastings on the follow-up album, Smash the Clock, which was once again recorded at Black Barn studios; featuring Wilko Johnson and other guests, it was released on 18 March 2016.
