\"Bj\u00f6rn<\/p>\n

Friday Night @ Hringbraut<\/strong>
\n\u2013 Bj\u00f6rn Thoroddsen <\/strong>\u00a0(JRCD029)<\/p>\n

Released in January 2026.
\nDuring the Covid lockdowns a wave of digtal creativity was flooded over the world. No gigs for musicians made them stay at home and some of them moved their magic to the internet. With his garage-studio and a smartphone as a video recorder, Bjorn started a stream on Facebook. “IT\u00b4S FRIDAY NIGHT AT HRINGBRAUT” Bjorn\u00b4s catchphrase before introducing friends to the show – people heard it and tuned in. On his 43rd album, under the influence of becoming viral on social media during these strange times mentioned above, Bjorn releases these recordings with the help of J\u00f3n Rafnsson on bass and Sigf\u00fas \u00d6rn \u00d3ttarsson on drums.
\nNice and relaxed versions of eight well known songs and two originals.<\/p>\n

    JR Music has released the book
    \n\u201cIcelandic Folk Songs, arranged by Guitar Islancio\u201d<\/strong>. The book has sheet music for 22 Icelandic folksongs with chord diagrams for the guitar and piano. The poetry text under the melody indicates which part of the song is the original folksong and which part is Guitar Islancio\u2019s addition. The users are therefore not restricted to the trio\u2019s arrangement, which provides a source of ideas about the arrangement of the music. Also, this is not just a book of sheet music . You will also find a lot of lore about the songs in the book. It virtually covers everything known about the songs and their likely origin. In addition, all the poems are full-length. The book, therefore, gives you copious information as well as value as a keepsake\u00a0 ….     more<\/a><\/p>\n
