From Finland came just like 97 Jussi Syren & The Groundbreakers. This is really traditional Bluegrass, just like in the fourties and fifties. Jussi writes quite a lot of original material. They had to travel quite a bit to get to Naas. By boat and by car, but they arraived in a good mood.

J-P Putkonen

J-P is a very good rythm-guitar player. He had also worked out some nice solos this year.
