#17 Jogvan Klein (Forever Young And Faroese)

Send us a text

You can take the boy out of the Faroe Islands but you can't take the Faroe Islands out of the man. This is dark, brooding, nordic noir from the North Atlantic. If you like your international directors with a rugged beard and a sardonic sense of humour then look no further than Jogvan Klein (University of Queensland).

In this episode we explore Jogvan's relationship with his own father who is an acclaimed Faroese musician, and his misadventures growing up in a Danish hippie, music school.  He recalls the traumatic premature birth of his daughter while living in Vietnam, with his wife going in to labour whilst he was away on a trip. Expect gallows humour and more proof that it will all be alright, even when it's not.

This episode ends with an extract of Kaj Klein singing Bob Dylan's Forever Young. You can find Síðsta kvøldmáltíðin (The Last Supper) along with his other albums on Spotify, Amazon Music and iTunes. Please check it out because it is really, really good. Legacy.
