"Æfing" from Flateyri is a band that Siggi Björns played with for the first time Easter 1971, and then on and off through the years. Fortyfive years after founding the band, they released their first album in 2013. Through the years they played local dances and balls, mostly covers from hitlists but with this cd they bring in original songs in Icelandic, mostly with stories from the village. A band like this has had a big meaning to the social life in a little, and sometimes isolated village in north west Iceland and because of the guys that started Æfing 45 years ago, many musicians come from Flateyri and are active in Icelandic musiclife today on all levels. The whole weekend 16 - 19 May 2013 around the release concert was full of happenings of all kinds, a good input to a fisher-village in beautiful nature, the summerlight is kicking in about this time of the year, nights are magic and the mountains overlook the whole thing.
