news update

Hi Funsters! 

December warms up for me with two gigs in Germany. Don't miss the women's 1970's  party Sa. Dec 1st in Mainz QKaff (Kulturcafé Uni Mainz ) where you can see the real CHER (guess who!) getting funky with live covers and big wigs.

The following week on Sa. Dec 8th it's the fabulous 20th annual AIDS charity ball in Wiesbaden with Patty Stucki joining me on saxophone for a wild set of uptempo songs and grooves.Tim Fischer will be supporting us!  
Dig out your old glamorous clothes and come and boogie!

Bue Skies, love 
Jan

Go to my myspace site and enjoy

Check my  website at myspace.com. This is perfect for networking freaks and a wonderful way to discover some new music. There are many good musicians connected to my site there. But you can search for anyone and everyone at myspace. I use it like a virtual radio show & back stage party. It’s highly addictive and fun. 

Listen to  some great music especially Jaki Whitren singing a track from her forthcoming solo album. I have been a life long fan of Jaki’s ... go and find out why! Don’t miss her video of the song.

Recommending my heroine

I can recommend this stunning new album by a singing heroine of mine! Isis unveiled by English singer- songwriter Jaki Whitren. Click on the link for the amazon store now. You can watch Jaki performing a beautiful track from Isis unveiled at her myspace site. Jaki's debut album Raw but Tender, released in 1973, had a huge impact on me. This is also re-released now by Sunbeam Records and is also available from amazon. You'll find my review of Raw But Tender on amazon. Enjoy one of the greatest soul voices you'll ever hear. Honestly, you will melt!

Concerts
I am continuing my break from extensive concert touring as my teaching work in Mainz seems to have taken over lately but I am doing a few one off concerts every now and then as you can see above :-).
For concert bookings please contact concerts@janallain.com

Songmagic Workshops
I am available to run workshops in all areas of acoustic music in any part of Germany.
Organisations interested to book a workshop, or individuals interested in a place on a workshop, please visit the songmagic site at www.songmagic.de and contact me directly at concerts@janallain.com

New album plans
When the time is right, I will make another album. Many more, I hope. I have really enjoyed a break lately from touring and returning to teaching has been very satisfying. I will write more about it on the new (soon to come) website.

Teaching
Since the year 2002 I have been teaching and producing performance arts projects with children of all ages in three schools in the Mainz area. The productions so far have included "Cinderella with a Difference", "Heartbeat - the history of pop music", "Robinson Crusoe (and the pirates from hell)", "Zirkus Chaos" and a murder mystery comedy.
