In 2014, Anna Iachino and Arnold Ludvig received an artist residency in New York, USA where they performed at several Open mics in the heart of Manhattan. To Anna’s delight, the Open mics in New York didn’t only feature music, but all forms of the performing arts, which included poetry, storytelling, comedy, improv… New York City is widely regarded as one of the fastest-paced cities in the world, a stark contrast to the laid-back, slow-paced, and relaxed nature of the Faroe Islands. Upon their return to the Faroes, Anna was inspired to have the same inclusive concept take place in the capital city. Bogi Andreasen, the leader of the cultural house embraced the idea and on April 8th, 2015, Anna Iachino and Arnold Ludvig started hosting their weekly event, Open mic/Open stage at Reinsaríið in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands.

​

One of Anna’s many tasks was to submit the text and photo of the special guests she booked to Niels Uni Dam, one of Open mic’s staunchest supporters; he attended every week. Every time Anna noticed an error or missing info, she would write to Niels Uni Dam, and bam – he corrected and added the missing info – right away! “Damn, he’s so quick to fix”, Anna thought to herself. Second time, third time…same thing – bam – in a flash, Niels Uni Dam did it again – beinanvegin, as we say in Faroese! “Damn, he’s so quick to fix”, Anna said out loud to herself. “What?”, asked Ludvig? “Damn, he’s so…oh my God, his last name is Dam, I have to write a song about him”, exclaimed Anna.
