Extraordinary, as always
I first saw Jófríður Ákadóttir when she was part of Gangly at an Airwaves gig back in 2015 and realised quite quickly that I was in the presence of genius.
Since then, I've been fortunate to see her perform several times more, here in London and in Iceland too and her musical development has been a wonder to witness.
Her ability to capture a crowd and hold them in the palm of her hand for as long as she likes is undoubted - there's a grace and a serene quality to her stage presence, while her songwriting has gone from strength to strength too.
An evening in her company is always time very well spent.
Already looking forward to the next London gig, in May!
