Today on RÚV English Radio, we check back in with our friends at Saga Musica.
Last year (https://www.ruv.is/utvarp/spila/ruv-english-radio/34448/a8gmen), Darren met Ásta Kristrún Ragnarsdóttir and Valgeir Guðjónsson at their Bakkastofa Culture Center (https://www.bakkastofa.com/english), and heard about their Saga Musica shows (https://www.sagamusica.com/), which feature stories from the Icelandic Sagas, set to music and words by Valgeir.
Now, they've been joined by two new recruits to help keep telling the stories and playing the music - Kristrún Steingrímsdóttir and Joel Durksen.
Darren caught up with them all at Laugardælakirkja, near Selfoss, to learn the latest about Saga Musica, and hear some more of the songs.
