Today, we journeyed to Finland and some of its neighbouring countries – from winter in Central Australia and the Barkly to winter in a seriously cold part of the world.  It turned out to be a mild winter day here in the Centre and some of the music was really hot!  check it out.  Thanks to Jeff for the phone in interviews from the Steiner School Fete – a highlight on the Alice Springs annual calender of events!
