One of Iceland’s most influential musicians, Valgeir Sigurdsson, will be playing in the suitably grand surroundings of St Barnabas in Soho on Friday 16th May. The concert is part of the popular Reykjavik Nights series and is in association with the Bedroom Community record label.

Valgeir has produced, or worked on, all of Bjork’s albums since 1998 which makes him the Icelandic equivalent of George Martin, except that Valgeir’s studio in Iceland is far nicer than the Beatles old basement hang out.

He will be showcasing his new solo album at the gig, which is by all accounts a pretty special piece of work and has attracted excellent reviews from esteemed organs such The Times (4/5). American folk singer Sam Amidon is also playing.
