"The band flies, in a mix of traditional and their own tunes, all rich with shapely ingenuity and delivered with acute mastery and massive swing and energy. The Norwegian input blends perfectly and adds another dimension, as does the curling whizz of Logrén's dobro. Any great session in Kaustinen these days is bound to include some or most of these musicians, and now they've got around to being a band they're the perfect item for a festival booker wanting a state-of the art Finnish/Norwegian fiddle band that when not on stage can be counted on to be at the heart of memorable sessions. Their album is hugely recommended – this is the essence of what the Finnish fiddling fuss is about." - Andrew Cronshaw, fRoots |

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
