Skeltr was born to serve the needs of the listening people, offering sound and energy for all to enjoy – created in Manchester, the music was composed by saxophonist, band leader and Glowrogues front man: Sam Healey.

Having recently toured the UK with LA sensation KNOWER, Skeltr are climbing fast - Their ‘Spiritual Punk Funk’ comes at the audience with sumptuous, technically prolific saxophone solos alongside mysterious samples, synths and loopers for a heart- wrenching and thoughtful cascade of modern and technical soulful funk.

Skeltr, known for their unique stage set up and engaging performances - connect to an audience hungry for new and exciting instrumental music. Travelling through Apocalyptic Punk Funk, Spiritual Jazz, emotional ballads and off-world sound manipulation and effects. Be prepared for a fresh musical experience.

Steve Mead of the Manchester Jazz Festival had this to say:
‘ An electrifying new duo in which Sam Healey’s roaring sax lines soar above Craig Hanson’s drum patterns, electronic soundscapes and samples, manipulated live in the moment: a striking, expansive sound with a buzzing energy at its core.’

Louis Cole, Knower
“Skeltr are Hot as Hell”

Skeltr's performance at Reykjavik Jazzfestival is a part of our doulbe bill- late night concert in the old potato storage in Ártúnsholt. Una Stef performs starts at 00:00

Known for her soulful/jazzy music, powerful live shows and vocals you don’t want to mess with, Una Stef first appeared on the Icelandic music scene in 2014 with her debut album ‘Songbook’.

Since then Una’s been performing with her band and with some of Iceland’s finest. Whether it’s epic shows in Eldborg with rock legend Gunni Thordar, swinging with the Reykjavík Big Band or selling out night after night at the legendary Mulinn jazz club - Una keeps bringing it.
One review highlight stated that “Una is one of the greatest vocalists in Icelandic music history”.

In the last year four of her tracks have hit Iceland’s Top Radio Charts with radio hit ‘The One’ being nominated at the 2018 Icelandic Music Awards as ‘Song of the Year’ and Una as ‘Singer of the Year’.

Una’s roots are in jazz and although she has been active in the Icelandic jazz scene this is her first time performing at the Reykjavík Jazz Festival. She, along with her band, will perform her own music and possibly something special just for the occasion. The audience can expect a powerful gig and even the need to dance, who knows?
