We Are Sound - live cover of Hoppípolla by Sigur Rós

We Are Sound's cover of Hoppípolla - the awe-inspiring track by Sigur Rós - performed live at the Christmas Cocktail gig in the Cambridge Corn Exchange on Sunday 14 December 2014.
It was a bonkers, hootenanny-styled gig, with covers by bands including Mumford & Sons, Jamiroquai, The Pussycat Dolls, Paloma Faith, The Haggis Horns, King Charles, Tom Jones & The Wailin' Jennys.
Described by the press as "a harmonic phenomenon bursting onto the scene like a firecracker" and "gorgeous, soaring, ethereal", and by its fans as ‘explosive’, ‘a tour de force’, ‘ebullient’, ‘witty’ and ‘sensational’.
Come get gigged with We Are Sound.
