Päivi Hirvonen brought Tero Pajunen and Mirva Ormin on stage. Together they played the fiddle and sang beautiful melodies in Finnish. Päivi writes songs about topics such as women's rights and love.

We think this was a nice concert with a lot of nice music, but we think that this would not have been suitable for anyone younger than 13-14 years old, as the music could be a bit monotonous and heavy at times. The interaction between the vocals and the fiddles was very nice, as everyone harmonized nicely with each other.

To introduce themselves and their songs, they tried to speak a little Norwegian. They made a good attempt and it was fun that they tried, even though their Norwegian wasn't quite there.

They also had good contact with the audience and got them involved in clapping a specific rhythm to one of the songs. "This worked well, and it was fun for those of us watching to be part of the music.

All in all, this was a very nice concert with great music.
