Also, don't they repeat the previous week's show (or one of them) at some ungodly hour on Sunday nights? So perhaps next weekend it will air again. Loved Ingolfsson's ensemble too. They're a don't-miss if they're ever performing in your area - |

19 Nov 07 - 10:25 AM (#2197470) Subject: RE: Message for Skarpi; Iceland Early music From: GUEST,PMB Poor Old Norse? Actually the Irish lived in Iceland before the Norse... but they were anchorites ... monks trying to get away from the mad rush of early mediaeval Ireland. I think the early settlers were a bit scared of them and stayed out of their way until they died off. The Saxons inherited their twiny art from Irish monks, and I'd be surprised if the Norse didn't borrow it too. |
