Going Incognito with Drummer Bob Knight!
10 August 2010

You look nice, have you changed your hair? I have grown mine (only due to being busy and it looks TERRIBLE!) but it probably looks better than if I'd had it cut in Poland or Austria or Italy or Germany or Hungary! I have been touring Europe with "Incognito" which has been awesome fun and awesome music. Some of the gigs were headline shows and others were festivals. I was lucky enough to catch up with fellow Yamaha man and all round good egg Derek McKenzie in Austria. The Jamiroquai rhythm section sounded amazing and Derek is driving them hard!
