Further Information

At Spessi's opening and book launch, 111 at Reykjavík Arts Festival this summer the brass band that now has the name Magnificent 7, played in a New Orleans style second line marching band. This is a short video from the march.

The Clash sounded so good as brass music that it was inevitable to record it and spread the joy!

Members of the band, Magnificent 7 are:
Haukur Gröndal
Helgi Svavar Helgason
Kjartan Hákonarson
Matthías Hemstock
Óskar Guðjónsson
Ómar Guðjónsson
Samúel Jón Samúelsson

For those not familiar with 111 by Spessi, it is a book and a show by Spessi. (www.spessi.com)
It is a documentation of a suburb in Reykjavík , Breiðholt.
The number, 111, refers to the postal code.While Spessi was working on the project he sensed that coming from 111 had certain pride for those who were from there, to the extent that some had tattooed 111 on themselves.
