Faroe Islands, Denmark

You catch me as I touch down on Danish territory for the first time in my life! It’s not mainland Denmark, however, but in fact the Faroe Islands, very far north (somewhere near Iceland). We’ve just taken a flight from Edinburgh over to this tiny landmass, and now we’ll head on a short drive before arriving in Torshavn, the capital of the islands, where we have 2 concerts in the coming 2 days. It’s always super exciting to visit a new place and tick it off the travel wish list, and as a group it’s exciting to add these islands to our touring map in our 50th year.This morning we were in Mayfair, central London, doing a photo shoot and interview for BBC Music Magazine, on the cover of whose February edition our ugly mugs will appear! We were interviewed by founding member Brian Kay, who’s obvious deep understanding of everything about the group made him the ideal interviewer!I’m going to be getting a nice long night’s sleep tonight, having caught up on some emails (after a blissful few days at home just spending quality time with Ellie and our friends), and having had a cheeky look for the northern lights up above.
