We strike land at some wee harbour at the bottom of this sticky out bit of Iceland and immediately set off through some of the most amazing landscape many of us have ever seen (including the Icelanders) on our way to Selárdalur, remotely sited in the very west of the West Fjords. Selárdalur is nationally renowned for a folly-ish collection of buildings built by Samuel Jonsson in the middle of last century that ape the churches and homesteads of Iceland only in about 2/3rds scale.
It’s a little bit like a crumbling film set and reminds me of visiting the “Mexican” towns of Almeria in southern Spain where they filmed the spaghetti westerns. It is here we have chosen to film the band performing ‘Heysatan’ in the company of the brass section, who have un-poetically come to be known as the Horny Brasstards.. - John Best")
