Today, RÚV English Radio is in Eiðar, in East Iceland.
Valdemar Gomes is from Portugal, and works in the Hostel and Apartments in Eiðar, ten minutes north of Egilsstaðir.
However, he also writes and performs beautiful songs on his acoustic guitar, under the name Novamente Vago - https://soundcloud.com/novamente-vago. You can also see one of his performances on YouTube here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4sERHIXWRU
Darren met Valdemar in the (currently empty!) swimming pool at the Hostel and Apartments, to find out more about him and his music, and hear him play a song.
