So I have just interviewed Major Pink and, to be honest, I still have no idea if he is real or not. But it doesn't matter, it's been a lot of fun and I am convinced enough to place them on the 'must see' list and I suspect you might feel the same in a few minutes. Here's what happened when I interrupted the major in his mansion to give him a good old fashioned iceblah interrogation…

Hello Major Pink. Where are you and what are you doing?

I'm currently residing in my mansion with the band, answering some questions. No lollygagging here.

You are a fictional character, is that correct?

I’ll take that as an insult. Are you fictional? I am Major Pink.

OK, so who created Major Pink? What do we need to know?

I was created by Mr. and Mrs. Pink some years ago, bless their souls. I wouldn’t think it appropriate to go into more details. I certainly didn’t ask.

You have two shows at Airwaves, one in a big modern venue and one in a small and sweaty bar. Do you have a preference?

I like to get up close and personal. I’d take a sweaty bar over a big modern venue any day of the week. I want to smell the sweat. I want to feel it.

What other shows at Iceland Airwaves 2016 would Major Pink especially recommend?

I’ve been keeping tabs on Ceasetone, Moses Hightower, Mammút, Fufanu, Sin Fang, Magnús Jóhann, FM Belfast and Agent Fresco. They’re all well and good. Then of course all the the British ones.

What advice would you like to give to people coming to Airwaves and Iceland for the first time?

Oh I’ve never been, but if you see me in Iceland I’ll be happy to share a pint of the black stuff with all of you while we figure out this mysterious island of ice and snow together.
