Laura and anybody else interested in the Finnish language and culture there is an interesting radio programe in the usual Sunday afternoon poetry slot on BBC radio 4 this afternoon at GMT 4:30pm,
Storyteller and musician Nick Hennessey travels to Finland to explore the mythical world of the country's national poem, The Kalevala.
First published in 1835, this 50-chapter epic inspired a 19th-century artistic awakening and remains a cornerstone of contemporary Finnish culture. Speaking to musicians and critics, Hennessey finds out how the poem helped shape the nation.

You never know it may even go some way to explain the Finnish definition of 'patience'.....ta ken

"Welcome to the Forum Viivi. Let's see if Santa Claus is successful in finding us, at least he is trying hard, but there are so many homes to visit in the Nordic countries"
There is no mention of Santa Claus in your Finnish text! You are teasing us; nice try!
Here is an even more precise translation:
"Welcome to the Forum, Viivi. Trying hard, we'll see if it succeeds. It depends on whether the tour next year includes the Nordic countries."
Having said that, I prefer your translation to mine Jarkko, very Christmassy!

I hope Ljubljana will work out but if not, Budapest or Vienna would be perfect for that 17th March
Please...?

the 17th March is St Patrick's Day. Surely a couple of concerts in Ireland would be more appropriate

the beautiful flower gardens of Kirstenbosch, on the green slopes of table mountain,Cape Town, will be a great open air venue to visit.
Cliff Richard chose for this venue many years ago...

Apparently Javier Mas has recently confirmed that they will perform in South-Africa in 2010 (as well as in The East, South-America, Australia and New Zealand).

Now that makes more numbers for AUSTRALIA (preferably BRISBANE). It's getting too cold now in Europe & UK anyway. The weather here is beautitful one day and perfect the next
Why don't all of you come!.......with Leonard and the band of course
So 14 is the magic number, then! Go for it guys, it worked for B4real!
I'm really glad for you B4real. Let's hope they make it to Brisbane!

Hi remote1,
Thank you for your well wishes. It's not actually official from Jarkko so I shouldn't get so excited yet - but I can't help it!
As well - Happy New Year to you and all forum members.

Well, I expect Javier Mas has a fairly good idea of where they are heading next!
Likewise, I wish you and all forum members, administrators and moderators an excellent new year!

Oho, olipas mukava yllätys. Ei ole tullut käytyä pitkään aikaan foorumilla, oon vain silloin tällöin tarkistanut onko uusia paikkoja kiertue-sivulla. Toivotaan parasta! Varmaan kerrot heti täällä, jos jotain kerrottavaa tulee? Enemmän kuin mielelläni antaisin poikamme isovanhemmille hoitoon
Please, Leonard, come to Finland!
