Bjarni Karlsson is a 30-year-old musician from Akureyri, educated as a pianist, he recently completed a B.A. degree in Creative Music Media. He is familiar with all sorts of stringed instruments, guitar, mandolin, langspil etc. Folk music has been in the foreground of his music making in recent years. For the last few months, he has been working writing new songs in the style of Icelandic traditional folk music, and they will be heard mixed with old folk songs with a slight twist.

Chris Foster is a master of his trade recently described as “one of the finest singers and inventive guitar accompanists of English folk songs.” Writing in fROOTS magazine Colin Irwin said “Chris Foster merits legend status, one of the very best in the second wave of the British folk revival in the way he modernised and invested traditional songs with inventive guitar arrangements and potent vocal delivery.”

Over the past 40 plus years Chris has performed and recorded throughout the UK, Europe, North America. His most recent album, 'Hadelin' was nominated in the 2018 BBC Folk Awards. 

Since 2004 he has been living in Iceland, where he performs and records both solo, and with his wife Bára Grímsdóttir in the duo Funi. This will be his first full concert in Iceland since the Covid plague.
