I booked this gig ages ago, and was so glad when the time finally arrived to go and see Iceland’s Daði Freyr – known for his band’s offbeat entries to Eurovision 2020 and 2021 – live at the Roundhouse.
Whenever I go and see a singer or band I love looking around to see what kind of people choose to go and see them. The crowd here was so varied – young and old, casual and smart. It was one of the friendliest and most laid-back crowds I’ve ever come across. I would assume everyone there is a Eurovision fan, which makes me happy.
Daði Freyr himself was a great performer, fun, quirkly and consistently entertaining. Of course, he played his Eurovision hits, but there were plenty of other original songs and even a couple of covers. I had a fantastic time, even though it was so hot my makeup literally melted off my face.
