I used to love an all-girl band called Drivan. No idea if they're still going.



Bom Funk MCs were another. Albert Swarm is a bit of a gem as are Big Wave Riders. Never really got into Hanoi Rocks.

Kristina Bruuk. An imaginary concoction by Bill Drummond and Mark Manning that still makes me laugh.

The ice bar, owned by Lordi and presumably funded by their Eurovision pomp, is dead special in Rovaniemi. A crass Neverland of a pub fuelled by whatever that berry vodka they drink is called, with people serving reindeer meat. Like an underground Labyrinth for Lemmy types.

Seconded. Can I also add Husky Rescue?

I was listening to Summertime Cowboy by Husky Rescue this morning. Had no idea they were Finnish. Also had a fairly long chat with one of our team who is a young Finn about the Hyypia appointment (he is football nuts as well as being generally nuts). His face lit up. "BRIGHTON! VERY GOOD CLUBS" he yelled at me before explaining that it was the place where 'his' music started. "The Concorde! Skint Records! Fatboy Slim! Perhaps you have heard of it?" Rarely have I felt so old.

Has anybody mentioned Sibelius. The Karelia Suite is and always has been one of my favourite pieces of music.

Jukka Tolonen (former guitarist of Tasavallan Presidentti, which had a cult following in the early 70s) is still going strong and worth a listen.

I like it too, gives the impression of an orchestra coming over the hill , then disappearing over the next one. Great sounds.

My favourite though is Finlandia. It would tug on the heartstrings of even the most bed hardened whore. Immense piece of music.
