Jamiroquai percussionist Sola Akingbola has updated the What's On page of his website with information about he is doing for the next few months.

In addition to the Jamiroquai gigs we know about (see the live section for more details), he lists details of gigs that he's doing outside of Jamiroquai - with his 'Critical Mass' band.

• 11 May - Afro-Pfingsten Festival, Winterthur (Switzerland)
• 29 June - Carnival de Cuba Festival, Southwark Park, London
• 2 August - Tiata Delights 08 Festival, The Almeida Theatre, London

In a list of the 'Worst Polluting Celebrity Motorists', as reported on the Auto Trader (UK) website, Jay Kay is unsurprisingly right near the top of the list.

"Jamiroquai frontman and Ferrari fanatic Jay Kay is second in the research compiled by the City Car Club, emitting 444g/km thanks to his Ferrari Enzo and Bentley Continental"

Although not complete (it never will be!), I'm pretty happy with the discography of recordings that lives here at funkin.com.  This site used to have a bootleg section but it was too much effort to maintain and some time ago this section was removed from the site.

Thankfully some other fans have decided to take this a step further and have just launched a new website, which can be found at jamiropedia.com. 

"After collecting stuff for a long time, we think a site like this was needed, where all the Jamily could search for info of tv and live appearances."

The site is a searchable database of not just bootleg CD's and DVD's, but information about as many live recordings that are publicly known about.  The site is growing very quickly and if you have any information or updates to the site please contact the people behind this new site. 

After the original announcement in February, the limited edition (250 pairs) Oakley JK15 sunglasses go on sale on 1 May.  Jamiroquai.com has a number of pairs available in the online store, and they've also added a number of photos of Jay wearing the sunglasses to the official site.

Limited to 250 units worldwide, the JK15 Split Thump has a camo-style frame print featuring Jamiroquai’s famous  ‘buffalo man’  icon and comes pre-loaded with two classic tracks – Too Young to Die and Emergency on Planet Earth. Each pair has a Jamiroquai signature and JK15 logo on the inside arms and comes complete with customized microbags and packaging.

More information about the special edition Oakley JK15 Split Thump sunglasses can be found at Jamiroquai.com.

At the a party hosted by London beauty business Lost In Beauty, held earlier this week, Jay was there (the business is run by his make-up artist) and according to London newspaper TheLondonPaper he was there in a new car he'd purchased.  The article read..

JAY KAY has joined Noel Gallagher in slating the decision to book Jay-Z to headline at Glastonbury.

The 38-year-old musician spoke out at the Lost in Beauty launch in Primrose Hill. "It does make you wonder, should an American act headline a British festival?" Jay told theBuzz. "I like Jay-Z, but his role at Glastonbury is questionable." Jay wasn’t too upset though, as he showed off his new 100,000 pound (GBP) Audi.

Jay was also spotted recently at the Ace Cafe in London (where he's been seen before). Some photos can be seen at the Rex Features website.

Free commuter newpaper Metro in Belgium printed an interview with Udo, the winner of X factor Belgium 2005, who has now released his second album called 'Good Things Coming'.  In the interview he is asked about working with Jamiroquai guitarist Rob Harris:  

Question: You worked together with the guitarist of Jamiroquai, how did you that happen?
Answer: Rob Harris contacted me.  He found me through Myspace. I was just finishing the album but I arranged it so that we could write a song together.  It is surrealistic that a guitar God like him wants to work with a unsignificant Flemish singer. Music fades all borders away.
