One of the Tv-channels in Finland started a new programme in the beginning of this year. There one very popular Finnish musician, Timo Rautiainen, started too look for people older than 70 years old to form a choir which would sing rock. All started out quite bad, because most of the elder people didn’t find rock that pleasant music to sing. It was too loud, too ugly lyrics and so on.
But in the end Mr. Rautiainen found 18 open-minded 70+ rock singers. Their concert in The Alexander Theatre in Helsinki was sold out in a half an hour. The concert was shown on Tv recently and I must admit, I really loved it! All of them had such a great passion. And they were all enjoying it as much as the audience. It was really touching to see some of the relatives so touched while they watched their parents or grandparents singing the legends of Finnish rock. 
The best performance by far, was Mr. Eero Sinikannel’s singing of “Taivas lyö tulta” (orginally performed by Teräsbetoni which actually is representing Finland in Eurovision Song Contest 2008). He beat the original version hundred to nil. Amazing singing and attitude on stage. And take a look at the choir, the faces and air guitars are fantastic. So, once again a prove that Finns are a heavy metal nation… from babies to elderly.
