He is an excellent guitarist and played Beatles' medleys at a Reception during the Edmonton Inaugural Trade Mission to Iceland last March.

I then ran into Bjorn at YEG as he was flying back to KEF in the Icelandair Flight after playing at Guitarama in Winnipeg last spring.

As for the Characters restaurant event, if the Lamb is anything like that we ate at the Blue Lagoon Icelandair-hosted reception this is a must event. Best Lamb I have ever eaten!

I will be trying to get into the show and heading to the movies that Sunday.

If you do get into the Starlite show let me know as I will be there with my wife and a couple of friends.
