Forever to be written into Iceland Airwaves history due to the near hurricane conditions, I start the day with Iceland’s current prince of pop, Ásgeir Trausti. This 20 year old has a debut album to promote, and eight Airwaves shows to get through. His audience seems loyal though, with a group of school kids, and […]
Breakfast, lunch and dinner. My day started incongruously early, with a ‘Rock and Bacon’ session in Prikið. Grúska Babúska had just what I needed. A quartet of Icelandic girls, perched on tables and stools, and delivered a tasty breakfast of vocals, electronics and flute. It was a perfect start to the day, surrounded by Airwavers, […]
October 31st, in most parts of the world, is Halloween. Not so much in Iceland, although parties have been known and the American customs are gradually gaining a foothold.

Sóley has released a beautiful new video ahead of her Airwaves appearances next week. It’s going to be maximum bloody epic, as they say around here.

They have since released a second album, but for reason this passed me by. I’m playing catch […]
My lovely wife came home with these today. It cheered me right up!
Just when you thought you’d seen it all, Iceland surprises you again. This photograph is another of Pete Chipman’s (website here), and it utterly breathtaking. I’ll feature a few more of Pete’s images throughout this week, because they are so good, and because he wrote me a nice email thanking me for my help! © […]
This trio of Icelandic beauties are from the camera of Pete Chipman. Pete has photographing Iceland for the past eight summers. He mainly photographs at night, and sleeps during the day in the 24-hour daylight of the subarctic Icelandic summer. Pete is looking to publish both a large-format, fine-art photography book with video and time-lapse […]
