I have just returned from a delightful stay in our summerhouse on the south coast of Iceland. I went there mainly to review two concerts, but also to experience a little bit of the Icelandic countryside, before embarking on another trip with Björk et al.

See a photo below, which I took there this morning.

I left Reykjavik last Friday. The evening before saw the birth of a music club of which I’m a very proud member. We intend to meet as often as possible (which due to circumstances will not be very often in the next months), play CDs for each other and discuss music.

The evening was a success. It began quietly, with a great dinner and marvellous music. Then it got rowdier… and I’m not sure how it ended!

It was Sjón’s wife, Ásgerður Júníusdóttir, who had this brilliant idea. She is a fabulous mezzo-soprano, in case you don’t know.
