I've just returned from Glasgow where the UK tour kicked off on Friday night. Beverley Knight's opening set was great (better than I've seen before) and Jay and the rest of band were on top form throughout. Like in the recent Australian tour Travelling Without Moving is back on the set list and on a number of occasions Rob Harris really got to show off his awesome guitar playing. During the concert Jay managed to stay calm even when been attacked by flying underwear and when his trouser tore - he then had to take them off and even strolled around the stage in his underwear! Jay also made light of the recent newspaper coverage about his apparent "brawl" after the Brit Awards. The band have been really looking forward to this tour and I for sure won't forget Friday night for a long long time.
Supersonic, the second single to be taken from Synkronized, was released yesterday in the UK in 1999. In 2001, A Funk Odyseey was awarded Silver and Gold awards in the UK to mark sales of 200,000 and 400,000 copies respectively.
