Hello JAMIROQUAI Club Members,
Hope all of you are having a nice Spring so far, mine has kept me
continously busy, thus I haven't been able to update the Group in a
while. In any case, here's the latest:

2# Backing singer Samantha Smith (LINK:

the Dynamite era is no longer working with Jamiroquai and for those

3# On the May 8th episode of US television show Dancing With The
Stars, the house band performed Canned Heat during an exhibition dance
by four professional dancers.
In November 2006 Jamiroquai performed the same song on the UK
version of the show - called Strictly Come Dancing.

club in London's Soho on June 15 and 16.

5# Jam.pl (LINK:
http://www.jam.pl ), an unofficial site for Polish
Jamiroquai fans is proud to be celebrating its seventh year online
today (12 May). Congratulations to both Czendo and Psiqs, who now run
the site, and Pingwin who originally set it up back in 2000.
Big props to my Polish brothers and may their site continue to be
a bastion for all Polish Jamiroquai fans trying to stay in the latest
know!

6# Organisers of the Gumball 3000 (LINK:
http://www.gumball3000.com
) Rally, in which Jay was driving as part of the Adadas team have
released a statement following the abandonment of the event. The
statement reads as follows:
Issued by Maximillion Cooper on behalf of The Gumball 3000 Rally -
21.30 / 03 May 2007
Following our earlier release reporting yesterday's accident - As
a sign of respect we have decided that this year's Gumball 3000 Rally
will not travel any further and will end in Bratislava this evening,
May 3rd 2007.
As the organisers of the rally we feel that it should be stopped
as a mark of respect to Vladimir Cepulyoski who died today after an
accident involving one the participating drivers.
We are very saddened by what has happened and feel that it would
be wrong to continue. On behalf of Gumball 3000, we once again extend
our deepest sympathies to his family and we are doing everything we
can for them.
This is the first time anything like this has happened in 9 years
of travelling through over 40 countries with 1000's of drivers and it
is with deep regret that I make this announcement.
Maximillion Cooper
Founder & CEO
The Gumball 3000 Group

There you go, all the news for now. To all the newest members of
the Group, WELCOME, I will continue to bring you the latest Jamiroquai
happenings, with the support of the online Jamiroquai community of
websites, fansites and forums, during this really slow break time for
the band. Given Spring/Summer 2007 looks like it will be a "slow
news" time for Jamiroquai, please expect their to be long lapses in
updates UNLESS some news breaks, in which case I will immediately
update. Thanks for joining, reading and supporting this Group and see
you soon with more news! Peace!
