Bio
.. .. .. .. .. .. ...... We formed in October 2006 and are a multi-instrumentalist, multi-national duo (well, Icelandic and British)... The idea driving us is to mix medieval & traditional tunes with an unexpected series of loops and funk, salsa, metal, jazz, folk and an experimental 21st century sound - while still playing medieval instruments they would have used back in the 12th century... We have played at Illustrated London Noise, ICA, at Moseley Folk Festival, and supported Circulus at the South Bank Centre. -

Nous avons besoin de soutien de 2 manières :
