John chats to Icelandic Popstar Gudni from the band Kvika.

John met Gudi on a kayak trip in Vietnam as the only two single lads they got partnered up. John learnt during the kayak ride that he was kayaking with an Icelandic Pop Star who was travelling to get inspiration for his next album. Now fully inspired from a kayak ride with John he chats to us about his travels and his brand new album.
