I remember an old 90s video of Bjork where she was presenting a number of her favourite music videos and talking a bit about each one. It was impossibly charming. Can’t find it on YouTube, does anyone know what I’m going on about?

Just thought to post this here – the first of the endlessly delayed Orkestral shows is finally taking place & being livestreamed from Reykjavík tonight (21:00 BST).

Details/tickets here.

I have tickets to one of these but long stopped reading the emails. Should probably do that.

I watched it. We have bought the pass to watch all 4. I really enjoyed it. Only an hour long with no encore but there was no chat at all, just a ‘thank you’ in Icelandic between each track, then she introduced the conductor etc at the end. The stage was pretty minimalist, no backdrops or anything, but the production/direction of it was really good.

Its on YouTube, though I imagine not for long - what a setlist!

I also thought it was a really lovely show – particularly the second half once her voice had warmed up a bit. That final run of Hyperballad / Harm Of Will / Bachelorette / Unison was gorgeous. It must be so strange to have to get used to singing live again after such a long break.

Apparently she performed Generous Palmstroke as an encore after the livestream finished.

Yeah, she was struggling a bit at the start. As you say, must be so weird to get back to live singing, particular with such an extreme and distinctive voice.

Ooh looks like a new album in May. If the exhibition is still on in August I may even be able to visit.
