Pleased to be @womex to celebrate the achievements of @GblMusicMatch - a huge project connecting over 170 incredible artists

[Ösp Eldjárn @osp_eldjarn]

If you haven't already, go and check @dan_whitehouse 's music out. He has a concert at the @GreenNote on September 13th, together with our #gmmteam5 sister @AinsleyHamill which I know will be pure beauty!

The first collaboration I did with the brilliant @dan_whitehouse was this song I wrote and recorded one late night in June, with birds singing in the background, after Dan had sent me a poem he'd written earlier that day, called INK

but my favourite part has to be @osp_eldjarn “testing the reverb” in various locations in the remote parts of Iceland, like this cowshed!

congrats everyone at @GblMusicMatch, this award is well earned 🏆 & pls follow @AinsleyHamill haha, I stole all her tweets for this thread 😁

[Hrefna Helgadóttir (Habbi) @HrefnaHelga]

the overachievers in group 5 even produced this impressive group collaboration I can’t get enough of 🎶 #GlobalMusicMatch

[Hrefna Helgadóttir (Habbi) @HrefnaHelga]

it’s just so pure, such a contrast to the intensity of the feeds, seeing stunning landscapes overlaid with sounds you normally don’t get to hear unless you go out and look for them #GlobalMusicMatch

[Hrefna Helgadóttir (Habbi) @HrefnaHelga]

One of my first projects at @IcelandMusic was overseeing @osp_eldjarn in #GlobalMusicMatch

It’s been amazing to watch her collaborations in group 5 come alive and delight my feeds, especially in this gloomy time. Amazing @womex recognises this work with such a prestigious award!

Just 1⃣ week to go... I really can't wait to play 'Not Just Ship Land' for you all. ❤️Tickets still available: https://t.co/MhUuONEmQI

[Ösp Eldjárn @osp_eldjarn]

Special thanks to @frtheWhiteHouse for joining us on this beautiful day and singing with us on the track, to James Robinson for adding the synth part, and of course to Jon Kelly for welcoming us in his studio at Tileyard, where he recorded and mixed the track so delicately!

[Ösp Eldjárn @osp_eldjarn]

One magical afternoon, 3/6 of #gmmteam5 artists met up in London to record this beautiful song by our @GblMusicMatch featured artist @AinsleyHamill with a poem by @dan_whitehouse and vocal arrangement my yours truly!

Introducing the amazing @AinsleyHamill who I've been so fortunate to get to know through @GblMusicMatch
Her love of Gaelic song was nurtured whilst studying at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and Trad roots are close to her heart.
