Emilie & Ogden is actually one person and her harp: Canadian Emilie Kahn discovered the epic instrument when Barr Brothers harpist Sarah Pagé played along with her school choir.
She named the harp "Ogden", as one would naturally do. We caught up with Kahn during Iceland Airwaves late last year and took her to a knitwear shop where she played us her poignant recent single "What Happened".
She returns to the UK for a tour that kicks of on 1 March taking in Leeds, Manchester, London and Bristol.
Iceland Airwaves 2016 runs from 2-6 November and tickets are on sale now
Session filmed by Sebastien Dehesdin.
Thanks a lot to Siggi at Ogtho for letting us use his really nice shop!
