Information about the event
Tunes and Knitting
Cozy concert and social gathering where friends and musicians Sigrún Erla Grétarsdóttir and Birna Kristín Ásbjörnsdóttir will perform an entertaining mix of jazz and popular songs.
Every Thursday at this time, a local crafting group meets at the library, and guests are warmly encouraged to bring their knitting or needlework to enjoy while listening to live music - though of course, this is by no means a requirement!
The program will feature timeless classics such as Cheek to Cheek, On the Sunny Side of the Street, Singin’ in the Rain and other beloved hits.
