In the last few years Joe Jackson has been awarded a Fellowship by the Royal Academy of Music and an Honorary Doctorate by the University of Portsmouth. He is currently living mostly in London, and working with writer Raymond Hardie and director Judy Dolan on Stoker, a theatre project about Bram Stoker, the creator of Dracula. In June/July 2006 he did a short piano-bass-and-drums tour with Graham Maby and Dave Houghton, an experiment which looks like leading to more gigs in 2007 as well as a possible album.
