The Iceland Airwaves Music Festival 2005

...is now in full swing in Reykjavík, with a big number of groups performing, both Icelandic and international, and everyone in general having a good time listening to music and partying for a couple of days.
A great number of the foreign groups are staying in Hótel Frón. And as I´m working this weekend, I have already met a few of the musicians. They were the ones that managed (or were hungry enough) to get up at 9.50 a. m. this morning to have breakfast (we close at 10.00 a.m.), as there were concerts scheduled as late as 4.oo a.m. yesterday night! Of course those were an addition to a couple of Irish guys that had not slept at all and were returning home around 6.30 a.m. and were able to persuade us breakfast-makers (easy, as we were preparing already) to give them a bite, even though breakfast really doesn´t start until 7.00.


And the fun goes on...today the group Hermigervill is performing on the banks of the Blue Lagoon , playing at the official Airwaves hangover party!

Some samples of Hermigervill´s music:
