It was gratifying to see the response to our little shop sale, thanks to all those who helped us celebrate the end of 'NOW' by buying one (or sometimes two) of them. Sadly, all our merchandise prices are now back to normal.
We've finished the mastering of 'NOW', a great time was had by one and all, and its all in the correct order and ready for release. We will be announcing the release date as soon as we know it, so as they say "Watch this space".
Our Haiku inspired project (an instrumental suite with the working title "The Sound Of Snow On Water") is moving on apace as are a whole pile of new songs (lyrics). As well as the "Milton rock opera"... more about these projects throughout the coming months.
March has not been around for long, so there may be more news for you over the next few days. Keep an eye on our website as little things are changing all the time.

We have two bits of important information for you.
Firstly, it seems that Hotmail/MSN are currently blocking all emails from our web host, 1and1.
Until Hotmail/MSN and 1and1 resolve this issue any emails to us originating from Hotmail/MSN will not be able to receive a reply. If possible, please use another email address when contacting us.
Secondly, don't forget we have a massive $2 discount on everything in our store - starting on February 2nd at midnight(GMT) but it's only for a limited time. Go to www.cafepress.com/jadewarrior and grab yourself a bargain.
Not news as such, but we found these pictures - Bike 1, Bike 2, Bike 3, of the Jade Warrior drag racing bike on the web. Jon's neighbour, Angus McPhail, had designed and built the bike with Mick Hand. It was powered by half a formula 1 engine and rear wheel. Jon got Island records to pay for the paintwork and a set of matching leathers, and the bike was named "Jade Warrior".

Hi, firstly we're sorry this news is late (a recurring theme for us) it was assumed by each of us that the other was doing it, so this is a bit of a collective effort. Also we would like to thank all those who sent us Xmas greeting emails, it was a great surprise!!
So, the good news is that Stuart Maconie, fab BBC DJ, chose 'Waves' as his record of the week on his 'Freakzone' show on BBC 6 Music. Stuart has been known to play JW in the past, so he definitely deserves some support, check the show out at http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/freakzone/tracklisting_20071230.shtml
There was also a nice piece by Barry Winton about 'Floating World' in the February edition of Record Collector magazine.
The album is finally nearing completion - although Jon currently has a bad case of man flu which is causing him to have delusional episodes where he believes he's in this fabulous band, nearing the end of the greatest album - reality will kick in soon. Anyway, if it wasn't for that hiatus we'd be mastering this week.
We are all feeling very generous, and so in order to celebrate the finishing of our "NOW" album we have a special offer on all merchandise in the store. Starting on February 2nd, there will be a $2 price reduction on all the products. Hurry, hurry – it is for a limited period and won't last!!
