I Feel The Audience Has A Right

Unnur Birna Is A Reykjavik-based Violinist And Singer. She Has Performed As A Session Musician With Countless Icelandic And International Artists While Recording And Appearing As A Solo Artist As Well. Unnur Has Joined Me As An Unpaid Guest On A Few Icelandic Shows In Recent Years, So It Is A Great Pleasure To Return The Favour And Appear On One Of Her Songs At Last. This New Track, Sunshine, Came About In Italy, Written As An Ode To Sunlight And Happiness After Fleeing The Dark Winter In Iceland

It's Only The Giving That Makes You What You Are.

I Was Quite Keen On Silviculture, The Growing Of Trees, And That Was Something I Gave A Lot Of Thought To. Maybe I Could've Gone In That Direction.

When I Was A Young Boy, I Preferred Cats To Dogs. From The Age Of Seven Or Eight Onwards I Just Felt More Comfortable With Cats. And I Felt More Comfortable With Girls, I Didn't Really Like Hanging Out With Guys. When I Was About Ten Or Eleven, I Was Friendlier With The Girls In My School Than With The Guys.

Martin, Dave, And I Get Together And Rough Out A Few Songs And Put Them On Cassettes For Some Reference...with The Actual Music, I'm Not Interested In Objectivity, Quite The Opposite. I Want A Solely And Totally Subjective Experience...a Lot Of Pop Music Is About Stealing Pocket Money From Children.
