This week's listener request came from Anne of Twizel, although it was a piece of Iceland she was after. Inspired by the fact Three to Seven this week was brought to you by the letter 'I' for that mid-Atlantic archipelago, Anne asked us for a song by the Iceland-born but (partly) Christchurch-raised Hera Hjartardóttir. Anne met Hera when she came to help teach music to local school children, tutoring students in songwriting and performance and even put on a concert with the kids. Thanks for sharing Anne.
