IF YOU MISS ICELAND TOO MUCH AND YOU CAN'T FLY BACK...

It's been exactly a week since I left Magic Reykjavík, and tonite in Brighton there is an interesting concert. ''Daughter'' is playing in St Mary's Church. The concert has been sold out for ever though...

The best thing about that concert -or the worst thing- is that beautiful ''Lay Low'' is opening for them.

So basically it's been a week since I've been living in Brighton, it's been a week since I left Reykjavík, I miss Reykjavík so much, I miss Icelandic artists, and Icelandic singer Lay Low is coming to Brighton.

Exciting but disappointing at the same time as no more ticket left...

One thing led to another, at the end of the day I got 2 tickets... It's called Icelandic ''beautiful fairy''...

When you miss Iceland very much, think about Iceland's little fairies, and they'll come to you...

Very intimate concert in this small church even though Lay Low and every one else was complaining about the freezing cold temperature inside...

Thanks Lay Low. And Daughter.

Lay Low.

Daughter.

ICELAND AIRWAVES 2012...

More than 200 bands playing everywhere in the city for 5 days, from noon until late in the morning.

And everywhere means everywhere : bookstores; art museums; coffee shops; restaurants; music stores; hotels; hostels; pools or in the corner of a random building. Everywhere!

You will also see different members of different bands everywhere in all over the city, with their instruments on their back, trying not to be late for a live performance with one of the many bands they're playing with. In Iceland every musician who is in a band has at least some other band or side project. So if you see the same drummer with 6 different bands you must not worry...

And believe me, to be able to catch at least half of the bands you want to see, you have to have a very well prepared schedule (and I guarantee you won't follow at the end!)
