Prostate Cancer Sucks
Blues And Whiskey Don’t
May 3 - 6, 21:00
Dubliner
1.000 ISK for a day, 3000 ISK for a 4-day ticket.

If you’re reading this paper hot off the press, go to Dubliner for the last two days
of the Blues for the Blue Nail festival! Blues musicians from Buddha the Blues En-
semble, to BB and the Bluebirds, Strákarnir hans Sævars, and Blússveit Þollíar will
perform at the festival to raise awareness and collect money for prostate cancer. All
the proceeds from ‘Blues for the Blue Nail,’ as well as the sale of Ballatine’s whisky,
will go to this good cause.
For those who can’t make it to the festival, a wrap-up party free of charge will
take place on Sunday night. So get your blues shoes on, have a whiskey on the
rocks and enjoy blues for a great cause!
Coffee, Cake And Rock ’n’ Roll
May 10, 20:00 – 22:00
Edrúhöllin, Efstaleiti 7
500 ISK
Fancy some coffee, cake and rock ’n’ roll for a small sum of 500 ISK? The Coffee,
Cake & Rock & Roll concerts take place every second week at Edrúhöllinn, which
is also home to SÁÁ, the drug and alcohol treatment centre of Iceland. So if you’re
also tired of drunken Icelanders and spilt beer, it’s a drug and alcohol free space for
people of all ages to enjoy live music.
Arnar Eggert Thoroddsen, chief music writer for the daily newspaper Mor-
gunblaðið, curates the concert series, which sees two bands take the stage per
evening. On May 10, the three-piece folk pop band 1860 and Faroese singer/song-
writer Eivör Pálsdóttir will entertain the crowd. 1860 are not as old as their name
may suggest. The band started off as a side project in 2009, gradually making a
name for themselves with songs that range from cheesy ballads to lush jazz/rock
compositions, even incorporating a folk/pop element. The second act of the night,
Eivör Pálsdóttir, is going to enchant the audience with her distinct voice. Her roots
lie in the Faroese ballads, but the singer combines them with rock, jazz, folk, pop,
and European classical music.
So go down there for a very relaxed and calm concert atmosphere that involves
sipping coffee and eating cake! Follow “Kaffi, kökur & rokk & ról” on Facebook for
news on upcoming gigs.
