    We do have it but it's painfully embarrassing - I look like a confused dork. I can't stand watching it. Every time Jan says something I just don't understand what he means. So yes I have it. Can you see it? Haven't decided yet! :)

    Hey @viz, that would be really special, even if its not through theFB, I would still love to see it.
    Maybe @Fretwired would be good enough to help us understand whats going on.
    I know he said that Jan has a wicked sense of humour, so maybe he was just winding you all up  ;)

    There are some bits when he's definitely ripping the piss out of me, no question. :)

    ... Don't forget Big Band and WWII-era Swing either... Glenn Miller, for short :).
    I had never really warmed to swing, maybe I was born too close to it, it just seemed "has-been" and an older generations music, until:

    After a marquee event at the amazing Sir Harold Hillier Gardens near Southampton, I walked about a hundred yards into the top of an arena type space, and they were finishing setup for a Swing evening, period correct uniforms, period vehicles,  we stayed on for the event, and I have to say it was one of the most enjoyable impromptu evenings I have ever spent.

    Beautiful sunset, great music, fantastic atmosphere, and with all the period correct stuff it felt like being transported to a different place and time, one of those magical experiences.

    @viz Jan's not a fan of music journalism or the music industry [an ex manager ripped him off badly] and he does have a wicked sense of humour. I think you have to get on his wave length and if interviewing him avoid talking about Focus. You're not the first to suffer - I got him an interview with Total Guitar round about 2000/2001 - they published it, with a little help, and reviewed his album Focus in time. I wouldn't mind seeing it as well ... go on viz ... :-)

    @ChrisMusic check this out .. the DVD's ace. Had the band in the back of my wife's car up while on a UK tour. I was navigating and we ended up driving round and round Port Sunlight [as I got lost] much to the amusement of Jan ...

    I can't find it! Honest. Will keep looking. Yep he's definitely got a wicked sense of humour. After the interview we went round the back of the venue so he could have a smoke and he became intelligeable again! :)

    Oh Yes @Fretwired, I like that.  :)

    Also nice to have the personality, and the person, behind such great music too, it gives the appreciation another more human dimension.
