Hello JAMIROQUAI Club Members,
Again, I apologize and thank you all for your patience for the long times
between my updates on the group. Here's the latest:
1# According to fellow Jamirotalker Dyego, we fans might just be hearing some
new Jamiroquai soon based on a e-mail he received from the Official Site. Will
post more when I find it.
2# The Sunday Times newspaper (UK) published their 2009 'Rich List' this past
weekend - a list of the richest people in Britain and Ireland. In this years
overall list Jay is in position 1550 with an estimated worth of £35 million
pounds. In 2008 Jay was listed in position 1794 and valued at £40 million
pounds (by an 'expert' from the newspaper).
Additionally for 2009 this amount puts him in position 46 in the list of 'The
top 50 music millionaires'. Jay sits in position 46 alongside four others,
including Kylie Minogue and Ronnie Wood.
"Kay is regarded as shrewd operator, building two studios for £1m and
leasing them to Sony, so his profit margin is higher. He collects Ferraris and
lives in a Buckinghamshire mansion. His company Jamiroquai last showed £8.59m
net assets, which included £1.2m for his cherished cars. But with the lack of
activity, our rock expert cuts Kay back to £35m."
The Rich List and more information about how it created can be found online at
the Times website (Link:

3# According to GuitarGearHeads.com, Jamiroquai guitarist Rob Harris will be
one of the judges in this popular guitar contest when it reaches its conclusion
on 13 June.
"Guitar Idol 2009 has seen over a thousand of the top undiscovered
guitarists from all over the world battle their way through four online heats -
the Final Heat proving amazingly popular with an average of well over 9000 daily
visits and media coverage on national TV in the USA, Hungary, Chile, Romania and
Pakistan amongst others."
"Make sure you check out the live final when 12 finalists will be performing
live on the main stage at The London International Music Show on Saturday June
13th. Judges include Phil Hilborne, Jamie Humphries and Jamiroquai's Rob
Harris."

4# According to the Metro newspaper (UK), Jamiroquai percussionist Sola
Akingbola is one of the performers on a new album by Chicago based artists the
Hypnotic Brass Ensemble. The band currently have a number of gigs planned in
Europe over the coming weeks, so I guess Sola will be out performing with them
on some of these gigs...
