Remember in the summer of 1997 when Jamiroquai had to finish their open air "Jam In The Park" concert early because of the local Police.... Well, at the rooftop gig for Radio 1 held in Convent Garden on Monday of this week the local council got involved because the performance contravened local by-laws. Jay took matters into his own hands and threatened to handcuff the official unless he allowed the band to play two more numbers - which both featured longer than normal solos! This was reported in both The Sun newspaper (UK) and by Dotmusic.
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.
