The UK tour!

Here we are in the English countryside on our first UK tour. This morning we woke up in Eastleigh at the Ellington lodge hotel where we also had a gig last night.

The hotel has a bar where non members like us are welcome.

We landed in Birmingham on Thursday morning. Hasse and Greg had arrived a day earlier with our technical equipments and a van and they were kind enough to pick us up at the airport. The left hand side driving doesn't seem to be a problem for Hasse, that is why he will be driving for the whole tour!

While Greg and Hasse were roading and building the rest of us focused on the more important things. Like food.

In Birmingham we performed at the JamHouse. The place was packed with students who in the beginning of the show wasn't quite sure of how to behave in front of four Finns dressed in white and singing Final countdown, was this for real?


Yes it was for real and when we came to our last song which of course was Bohemian Rhapsody we actually didn't need to sing at all.  The crowd was singing for us. Wonderful!

The next day while Hasse and Greg were roading and building we were focusing on the more important things. The local cheesecake.
Jonte: why are you doing this to me?! Why?!
Kasper: I am so happy I didn't have any cake, not jealous at all, just happy!

After the cheesecake we had to do a very soft version of a soundcheck.

The gig in Eastleigh was lots of fun. We told the crowd that before the night was over they would all be dancing. And so they did!

After the gigs we like to hang around as a group and just share our thought and feelings of the evening.

Enjoying each others company.

Also Hasse, our light guy, is enjoying our company.

Today we are heading towards Bunn Leisure Park in Selsey!
