Inspired By Iceland Concert

Like thousands of others I sat and watched the Iceland Inspires concert last week. Sadly the venue had to be moved due to pretty grim (understatment) weather along Iceland's south coast. It finally took place in the centre of Reykjavik and I guess that an increased audience made up for the drop in dramatism of […]

Why Should I Go To Iceland Airwaves 2010?

So, somebody emailed me to ask why they should go to Iceland Airwaves 2010. I thought I'd share my reply… "The hippest long weekend on the annual music-festival calendar" (David Fricke, Rolling Stone) Iceland Airwaves is the best, most friendly, most exciting few days of musical highs imaginable.

Glastonbury? Or beautiful Icelandic waterfall?

UPDATE 30th JUNE: Storms are coming, the event is moved to Hljómskálagarður in Reykjavik, same time and still live on the interweb at 8pm (UK time).

And even though, I still haven't got […]

GO Eyjafjallajökull !

I was planning to write this weekend about music that has got my enthusiasm going so far in 2010. Events have overtaken me somewhat, and I've been having enormous fun with everyone's new best smoky friend Eyjafjallajokull (hilarious guide to pronunciation, and some truly woeful attempts here). I've enjoyed the coverage so much – seeing […]

Iceland Airwaves Preview #2 – The ROCK! edition

Part two is devoted to the noisy stuff, the loud stuff and the sweaty stuff – and three bands that would grace any rock scene anywhere in the world. Starting with Dr. Spock – awesome name, and one of Iceland's favourite live acts, they always get a big and appreciative audience at the festival. If […]
