Can anything be better, we have two weeks left of term, time is coming to a close, and we are all getting ready for the massive feasts that await us on Christmas Day. Anything to look forward to…well yeah múm will be in Brighton at Concorde 2. Nothing better than this and we are really looking forward to this show and has to be one of the highlights of our reviewerage 2009′ (ok we made up this word).
The band was formed in 1997 by original members Gunnar Örn Tynes and Örvar Þóreyjarson Smárason, who were joined a year later by twin sisters Gyða and Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir. In 2002, after the first American tour, Gyða left the band to return to her studies in Reykjavík. Shortly after Gyða left, Ásthildur Valtýsdóttir joined for singing duties and Serena Tideman replaced Gyða on cello, for a European tour. Then the ensemble evolved to include Ólöf Arnalds and Hildur Guðnadóttir. In early 2006, Kristín also left the band, although it was not officially announced until November 23 of that year.
Their music is amazing to listen to and grows slowly beautifully, don’t miss this show as we think it’s going to right up there with VV Brown and Ella Edmondson as one of the finest shows C2 has put on this year.
