"I feel like I could live in Uummannaq, it feels like a good town with good people in it."
KT Tunstall, 1 Oct 2008

The most northerly settlement we visited during the Disko Bay 2008 expedition was Uummannaq, hometown of our Greenlandic guide Ludvig and home to 1400 people and 3000 howling dogs. This town will inspire Uummannaq evening at the Southbank Centre. Join Arctic voyagers Shlomo, Lemn Sissay and Quentin Cooper for an evening of Arctic stories and performances at Southbank Centre, guided by local Uummannaq resident Ludvig Hammeken.

Shlomo and Lemn Sissay are Southbank Centre Artists in Residence supported by Paul Hamlyn Foundation
