It was first time in the festival´s 19 year history that it started raining at the time of beginning.
But fortunately the rain lasted only to about the half time.
First performers were Ruuskanen & Railio, two women with piano and violin, and this time they had a third lady with them playing the bass. They were very good!
Second performer was the pianist Iiro Rantala. He is the artistic director of the festival.
He played this year very nice music that he had composed himself: "Lost Heroes".
And last but not least to the scene came a 12 manned big band called Dallape. It has the same name as an old famous Finnish big band from the twenties (1920) and thirties (1930). Band´s vocalist is Sami Saari who seemed to enjoy very much that people started to dance in front of the scene. And I have to admit that the band played very good "old jazz".
