When it became apparent that half the music I was listening
to originated from the Nordic countries (Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Finland)
I decided to make a proper playlist of my favourite songs from that part of the
world because I’m organised and because I’m an anorak. Confession: Husky Rescue
had passed me by until just now and
are the only Finnish entry but I will now embark on a stint of Finnish music
(recommendations?). The list is two hours long and has a very extensive range
of sounds and some of it is old and some is very new but I think each and every
song is genuinely outstanding in its way.
