Hi Michael,

When are you coming to Finland?

Hi Pertti,

I would love to go to Finland next year, but finding the right person to book the tour/festival dates is not easy. Do you have any contacts?

Shine On,
Michael.

Hi Michael

I would be really happy if you come to Finland but I am really sorry I don't know any contacts. To name some festivals we have here kaustinen folk music festival (http://www.kaustinen.net/), Järevenpää blues (http://www.puistoblues.fi/?topic=42), Blues festival in Hämeenlinna, Aulanko and I think that some contacts can be found through Blues News magazine (http://www.bluesnews.fi/index_eng.htm).

Yours Pertti

Hi Pertti,

Thank you very much for your reply. My apologies, I did not see your post until just now! I will follow up those links and connections. Much appreciated.

Sometimes when this forum is busy, it is difficult for me to keep up with every thread.

I'll let you know how I get on,

Thanks & Shine On,
Michael
