Mamyth<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Combining modern and ancient musical worlds, Mamyth<\/a> takes you to a trip through a beautiful fairytale and traditional Finnish runo singing. An adventure with different instruments, musical styles and different eras – the band calls forth a strong feeling and endless imagination. Mamyth’s instruments are kantele, recorder, synthesizer, bass, drums, percussions and polyphonic singing. Intensive melodies and rhythms together with the combination of ethnic music and ancient tradition will give you an unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n

Greenrose Faire<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The hosts of the festival, Greenrose Faire<\/a> plays rousing Celtic folk rock with head-bobbing, toe-tapping rock feel. The Finnish sextet meshes mandolins and violin with rock drums and bass and symphonic synths, and spikes the rollicking attitude with the slightly ominous overtones of Finnish melancholy. Greenrose Faire sounds lively and modern but still tugs at the nostalgia strings for the long-gone days of yore.<\/p>\n

Sorrowhearts<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you thought you have seen it all then think again! Big men in kilts have at it on the stage and serve a broadside of their power folk. This is the band that wasn\u2019t there when the brake pedals were handed out.<\/p>\n

Mauve Claret<\/h3>\n

\"\"
\nMauve Claret is a mandolin duo from Tampere that plays instrumental old folk music from the creeks and forests. Forget the market ruckus for a moment and sit down to listen to the soothing tunes from a time when life was simpler.<\/p>\n

O’Rives<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nO\u2019Rives from Orivesi plays mostly Irish folk music. Their repertoire has rapid reels and jigs, not to forget ballads and pub songs. They might also add a touch of Finnish folk music played in Irish style, and Irish folk music sung in Finnish.<\/p>\n

Rachel Rodwell & Richie Raja-Aho<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThis year’s international guest comes from England. The folk singer and guitarist Rachel Rodwell has delighted Finnish audiences with her band Larkspur<\/a> over the last couple of years, and is today performing together with Richie Raja-Aho, the bodhran goblin now hailing from H\u00e4meenkyr\u00f6. With guaranteed warm and cozy atmosphere, this is British folk at its best.
