Halló all , it´s some time ago i was in on Mudcat,but latly
I have been in and out watching threads and I was wandering
about some people I know as Kat, Big Mick ,Catspaw and many more
where are you , what is happening are you playing , traveling or
just tired, like me .
Anyway for those who want´s to know how live is in Iceland
at the moment here are some words from me.
There have been some festivals here in Iceland this summer
Viking festival, Blues and jazz festivals and ofcourse our femous
( Þjóðhátið ) in Vestmann Island where about 10000 people comes together and have some fun on their Independece weekend for abour four day and night some of with out any sleep just drinking and
having fun.
The summer has been warm and good.
My band played at one festival last Saturday the 9th of Agust
and it went very well, we played for about an hour and I have benn asked over and over again where we will play again next time so we know that did well and are on the right track.
We sang for the first time in Iclandic we did sing only in English
and a little Irish.
Other than this we are starting fishing the whales again and mr.Bush
has sasid that the us naval airforce will stay in Iceland at least
for a bit longer , so we will not be defendless for a time being and
we are thankful for that , I hope that they will stay for the uncome future.Did you know that people are learnig Icelandic becouse they are interresting in Björk? it´s on the news today , thats great. Anyway that´s it,but If anyone want to know why we are fishing whales again I have no Idea.I said I was tired but thats becouse i am training for a test of my life, i am competing in a test of
ten hard ways , not unlike that they have in the army i don´t know what it´s called but I know this is a heavy training program that I
using to get trough this.
All the best from Iceland Skarpi says bless.
