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.
Jamiroquai's third album, Travelling Without Moving, was released in the US today in 1997. This same day in 2000, drummer Derrick McKenzie got married.
