In June I had my first trip to Iceland: to Akureyri for the VAKA festival. It was a welcome introduction to this country and its culture, and I especially enjoyed getting to grips with some traditional Icelandic vocalising: the language is beautifully chewy. I was playing with Tigran Aleksanyan and Andrew Cronshaw, and the trio has a couple of London gigs this summer at Rotherhithe's Sands Films and at St Ethelburga's in the City.
And The River Daughter had another performance in April by Zoey Pepper at the New Zealand Double Reed Festival.
