Sadly, the upcoming gigs with Tuomari Nurmio have been cancelled due to hand injury suffered by our drummer! This effectively means that the collaboration work has ended too. Thanks for Tuomari Nurmio, Tohtori Hillilä and everyone else involved and good luck with your future ventures! |
| |
| 13.10.2005 |
The joint venture with Tuomari Nurmio is coming to an end. As we originally agreed, the collaboration gigs will not continue next year. This means that the 16.11. gig at Tavastia is probably the last chance to see this once-in-a-lifetime act together, ever. Get your tickets while they last, because this gig will surely be a sold-out event. |
