Greenrose Faire plays jaunty medieval-influenced folk rock, taking you on a journey to a world of ancient woods and solitary beaches as well as lively village markets and rowdy taverns.
The band has quickly won friends ranging from traditional music enthusiasts to metalheads.

A new annual event, Medieval Folk Fest, starts this year at the Tampere Stable Yards on the 3th of July. Four local ensembles will be performing music ranging from acoustic folk, traditional irish music to medieval-influenced pop.
Medieval Folk Fest is started by Louna, a talented singer/songwriter. The festival is continued by the energetic Jhary’s Trio, performing celtic and irish music wearing kilts, of course. Greenrose Faire concludes the event with their jaunty “medieval pop”.
In addition to music, the usual Stable Yard attractions are open, including horse rides, an old-fashioned carousel, shops and cafes.
Medieval Folk Festival at Tampere Stable Yards (Kuninkaankatu 4) on 3rd July from 12.00 to 16.00. Artists start on the hour. Free admission.
