Asgeir plays live

Iceland's record breaking Asgeir joins Bob to play acoustic versions of some of his atmospheric songs and talk about his collaborations and friendship with John Grant.

Born and raised in a hamlet with a population of 40 in the wilds of Iceland, 脕蝉驳别颈谤 comes from a large family of musicians.

Last year, and at the age of 20, he broke all records to gain the title of Iceland's fastest and biggest selling debut album by a home grown artist - outselling even Bj枚rk and Sigur R贸s. Staggeringly, one in ten of the Icelandic population now own the album.

He joins Bob to play acoustic versions of some of his atmospheric songs and talk about his collaborations and friendship with John Grant.
