People of Airwaves: People thought me weird for going alone to Iceland.

Stefano from Italy was sitting quietly and going over tonight's programme when our reporter chatted with him.

"This is my third year at Iceland Airwaves. The first year I came with my friend to see Sigur Rós but for the past two years I've come alone. It's no problem. My friends think it's weird that I come here alone, but they're not bothered by it."

Stefano is mostly interested in seeing the Icelandic bands.

"I've seen Jón Jónsson, Sin Fang and Ásgeir Trausti, just to name a few," says Stefano and uses the chance to praise Icelandic music, which only has a few fans in Italy.

"I think that Italians only know Sigur Rós, Björk and Emilíana Torrini."

He hopes to return next year but admits that a week's stay in Iceland does hurt the wallet, but it's worth it.
