Hello, Iceland.
I’m the moderator of /r/bayanmusic, a sub for live music featuring a [chromatic button accordion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_button_accordion#/media/File:ButtonAccordeon.jpg). This month I’m doing a spotlight on Nordic accordionists, which simply means I’m encouraging users, including myself, to post performances by Nordic accordionists, which I will tag with the flair *SPOTLIGHT: Nordic*.
What good Icelandic accordionists are out there? Please let me know in the comments below, or post their videos on /r/bayanmusic (but please read the posting rules first).
Thanks!

My grandpa played for nearly 70 years and was in a band. I can probably find some old tapes of him playing
[Margrét Arnardóttir](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0CpdTmh_gbM2P2JE3ZT5mQ) is a phenominal accordionist. I’m linking her youtube channel given FB is down atm.
Flemming Viðar Valmundsson is one of Iceland’s leading chromatic button accordionists.
Here is his live performance of Bach’s Prelude and Fugue in C# Minor:
