During September an amazing collaboration took place between Jayl and an extraordinary and immense new talent from Rotterdam, The Netherlands - Singer/Songwriter - Landa. She travelled to England specifically to work with Jayl. Two songs were composed and recorded, called "We Break Our Chains" & "Holy Ground" - both remarkable and unique pieces of work. Jayl then travelled to Holland at the end of October to work again with Landa. A haunting and spookachtig song was created called "Halloween." All this work will be revealed in 2006!

Landa is coming back to England in February. Jayl & Landa + Jimmie Bone will be providing music for an exhibition of the works of Terry Anthony, an artist Jayl has been working with for many years. Landa will be opening the exhibition.

Jayl.Net Tribute to Kevin Crouch - Engine Driver

Last winter - a memorial was erected at Dymchurch in Kent for Kevin Crouch - a young engine driver on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, who was tragically killed in an accident on the railway during 2003. Jayl was privileged and honoured to have a poem he wrote in memory of Kevin inscribed in full upon the monument.

On Sunday 4th September 2005, a special train was run to raise money for the Kevin Crouch Memorial Garden. Both Jayl & Jimmie Bone were delighted to be special guests of the Crouch family and Jayl was absolutely thrilled to ride the engine itself with driver Jon Emmins. He now feels ready to drive his own steam engine!

During the Summer, in the magnificent setting of Gloucester Cathedral, Jayl & Jimmie Bone instigated yet another unique and innovative project. As part of their continued collaborations with up-and-coming young artists, they got together with the Gloucester Academy of Music to record a lost masterpiece - "In the Forest" by Adelina de Lara - the world famous concert pianist. The piece was written in 1949 and has never been recorded before. The session is now in the process of being edited and mixed.

The Academy then performed the piece live at The Abbey School, Tewkesbury on December 12th as part of their 2005 Christmas concert.

As well as all of the above, a complete revamp of Jayl.Net is planned for the early part of 2006, concentrating particularly on the galleries, the Jaylitzer and the navigation system.

There has been so much work created over the last couple of years and Jayl.Net has grown and grown. Consequently, it is time for a reorganisation, as we want you all to get maximum possible enjoyment and inspiration from this site.

In order to concentrate on the other major projects (Listed Above), Jayl took a break from public performances for much of 2005, but you can view images and reviews from the incredible performances over the last 18 months.

JAYL WILL BE BACK ON STAGE IN 2006.

THOUGHT

FOR THE SEASON

"Our beautiful nurses should be given the best, but priorities are twisted and resources are stressed.

The cult of celebrity is ruling the land, while they struggle with targets from a politicians hand.

Infrastructure crumbling while they're stabbed in the back ... and greed is the religion - "Hey - I'm all right Jack!"

Jayl - December 2005 ... Dedicated to Jayl.Net Member - Katy Barnett ... Nurse & Singer.

"PAY THE NURSES WHAT THEY ARE WORTH!"
