Icelandic Gloat: competition winner's photos

Many of you may remember that we ran a competition on DiS a few weeks ago to win a trip to Iceland to see Björk and Sigur Rós. That trip happened this weekend, and we asked our randomly selected competition winner, Adam Brooks, to keep a photo-journal of his trip to Reykjavik.

Adam visited the area around Reykjavik, took in some local delicacies, visited Greenhouse Studios where Björk has recorded, and he also had time to join ten per cent of the Icelandic population in a grassy park to watch the show. We already ran some photos of the show here, and here's what he sent us...

UK yet to rubberstamp 'White van man' and 'Toeless pigeon' equivalents

Exactly.

Adam's trip was organised by Iceland Music and he flew to Iceland via Iceland Air, who have recently put onsale their packages to goto Iceland Airwaves in October.

Brooks - you know someone on the inside don't you.

You owe me one of these trips for Primal Scream at 229. Fact.
