On Saturday 9th of June, we hosted a jazz concert by saxophonist Garðar Eðvaldsson and his band here at the Fish Factory. The band was touring around Iceland and we were fortunate to host their fascinating concert in our concert hall.

The band plays original music that has been composed specifically for them. Icelandic Garðar has been studying in Basel for the past three years and will be finishing his BMus degree this summer. He has been studying under the great musicians of the New York scene today. Other members in the band are Swiss Tapiva Svosve and Xaver Rüegg playing alto saxophone and double-bass, and Phelan Burgoyne from the UK on drums.

Thank you Garðar and friends for a beautiful night!

On a beautiful Saturday night, the last day of March 2018, we were lucky to host a wonderful EP Launch concert here at the Creative Centre.

Indie folk singer-songwriter Con Murphy came all the way from Ireland back to Stöðvarfjörður to play the first, exclusive launch concert of his debut EP “The Fjord”. On the stage, he was accompanied by his partner Gráinne Glavey playing the piano. The title song “The Fjord” was written in here in 2015 and by Con’s words the track is “full of love and admiration for his dear friend and the life he and his partner have carved out for themselves in the Eastern Fjords of Iceland.”

Thank you Con and Gráinne for a lovely concert and evening!
