Underfoot posterA folk night featuring bands that dwell like fungus in the cellars of Helsinki. They’ll crawl out of the plug sockets and spawn onto the stage with raucous, touching and raucously touching Americana, Scottish, Irish, English and Finnish folk music old and new.

This is the first of a new folk club night featuring five bands offering a wide variety of entertainment. The groups showcase Americana, Celtic, English and Finnish folk music old and new, with a jazz-rock kicker from band Paracetämol.

Ceol argus Craic features traditional and contemporary Irish and Scottish tunes including some songs in Irish Gaelic sung by Conor Cleneghan.

Pied Piper play 70s-style English folk music, referencing Anne Briggs, Pentangle and Steeleye Span. Amanda Arttio and Max Van der Kamp.

The Folk Boomers play songs in Finnish and English from the 1950s and 1960s American folk boom era. Featuring autoharp and bass ukulele.

Paracetämol are a duo of musicians who are pushing at the edges of jazz-tinted experimental guitar and bass instrumentals. Sami Oksanen and Anton Salokoski.

Musical Theatre Workshop

Join us for a two-part musical theatre workshop focusing on acting and Bob Fosse's distinctive dance style.
Isabella Nyström, a choreographer who graduated from the Sibelius Academy, will lead the dance section of the workshop. The acting section will be led by H. S. Fernandez, an experienced drama teacher.
ACTING (1.5 hrs)
In the acting section of the workshop, you'll do some warmup exercises, acting exercises and improv.
BREAK (30 mins)
DANCE (2.5 hrs)
The dance section will start with a warm-up and introduction to Bob Fosse's approach to movement. The second part will continue to focus on technique, but will allow more use of the space while practising combinations. In the final part, you'll apply the moves and technique you learned in a short choreography. The workshop will end with a quick cool down.
