The Festimad website has put on-line a 14 minute video of the Jamiroquai press conference (Windows Media Player format) from this past weekends festival. Topics discussed include the evolution of the bands' music over the years and the prospect of a live album -- Sony are not keen on releasing a Jamiroquai live album (as part of the three albums remaining in the contract), which Jay believes is what the fans want. Jay says, "If we record a live album, then we must have one of those albums taken off the contract. I'm not prepared to give Sony a live album, from a live band like us, with twelve years of experience, and just let them have it." They also talk about filming videos in Ibiza, why they've not played a gig in Madrid until now, and (suprise suprise) Stevie Wonder!
Today in 2000 Jamiroquai picked up a World Music Award for the category of World Best Selling British Artist/Group. The awards, pay tribute to the very best in contemporary music from around the globe were held at Monte-Carlo's famous Sporting Club.
