In early 1998, Suvi Kaikkonen, a longstanding fan of Karl Jenkins, Miriam Stockley and Adiemus, started to interact with other fans at the now-legendary Adiemus Unofficial Home Page. A bit later she had an idea to set up a fan club for Adiemus. Suvi contacted Karl Jenkins Music Ltd. and asked them for their support. On February 10, 1998 a phone call from KJM was the key that unlocked the door, and the rest ... as they say ... is history!

As of January 2002, there are active members in the fan club from all over the world (Mauritius, Canada, USA, Germany, Japan, Brunei and other territories) including the founding member's Finland. So far there have not been any member meetings, but the interaction between the members (and other fans) is, thanks to modern communications methods, very active and lively.

Although we don't arrange any meetings among the members, there are a lot of other kind of activities and things to be done:

• The fan club has been represented at some of the concerts by the members. When someone knows of an upcoming Adiemus, Karl Jenkins or Miriam Stockley concert the word shall start spreading to the other fans. Then, when someone attends the event, if there is an artist meeting for the audience, the concert attender(s) try to meet the artist(s). Our members will also be attempting to get backstage passes.
  
  
• "Adiemus-The Fan Magazine": A Fan Club "newsletter" is published three times a year and is sent to members via ordinary mail. The newsletter is written in English and it is usually issued in April, August and December. Although Suvi compiles most of the material for the magazines, other fans are encouraged to send suggestions or contribute their own articles. Here are some examples from the contents:
  
  
  • Latest news relating to any project of Karl, Miriam or Adiemus and information about upcoming concerts, recordings and other projects.
  • In-depth backgrounds of some of the artists' projects
  • Reprints of related articles from various other magazines
  • Interviews with the artists.

  The magazine is sent both to KJM and Miriam Stockley's manager, David Stopps, and we understand that both Karl and Miriam have enjoyed reading them (in addition to some other people involved in various Jenkins projects)!

• Christmas Projects: Since 1999, the Fan Club sponsored a holiday greeting card project, where a big Christmas card was made and a bunch of smaller cards from other fans around the world were attached inside. The whole thing was controlled and run by e-mail, and the final result was sent to KJM office via ordinary mail. The reception has been totally positive both years, and even those who are not Fan Club members participated!
