As the Finns slowly stumble back in from their uke partying, and slowly awake to a world where the Helsinki soprano is now a reality, the pictures slowly start to trickle in. These were mostly taken with a camera phone, but so far the only event we're missing here is the big unveiling of the Helsinki soprano itself.
In the pics we see Bosco and Honey being awesome, and we have Pete grinning maliciously as he lays the presents out on the table. No touching allowed until Juha (the guy in the white fedora) says so! Torture!
That London Plane soprano uke looks wrong in the pictures. In reality it's very blond but you can see the figuring in the wood, and it's just lovely to play. I fell in love with it a little bit. I hope Pete gets enough of this wood to make a go of it. Although, there is talk of a Helsinki tenor...
Usually in Finland, when you have a passionate interest, it goes without saying that you will be alone in your interest. But not this time baby, not this time. We have a kickin' uke scene here! :rock:
One missing pic was the extra surprise in my Uklectic gig bag. I didn't know they came with Toblerone's! - which I gave back to Pete, who had forgotten he bought it.
When Bosco & Honey have an online store for their cd, I'm buying! It was just a case of it being late at night and no ATM machines around. We use bank card for everything here.
Enjoy the pics!
