Bon Iver at Glastonbury 2009

Like every other middle-class reader of the Guardian, one of my favourite albums of last year was Bon Iver's "For Emma, Forever Ago", which is a collection of heart-stopping yearnings for a lost love.

Spent yesterday watching the performance at Glastonbury: http://www.bbc.co.uk/glastonbury/2009/artists/boniver/index.shtml#emp which I am happy to report is absolutely amazing - retaining the beauty and elegance of the album, while adding somethign extra. Magnificent.

On a lexicographical note, does anyone know how to pronounce Bon Iver? I have been pronouncing it as two seperate words Bon [pause] Ivor, as in Ivor the engine. Other people are pronouncing it as one word: bon-e-verr.
