THE POPPOO
I missed the start to this radio broadcast of the Finnish band The Poppoo but I often come back to this recording as it has a real feel-good factor. I was at a low point in my life at the time and maybe its cheering me up has left a fondness for it. Anyway that's from my personal perspective, but I hope if you bother that some cheeriness will rub off on you too.

Hey Andy, what a nice surprise! Grazie-Kiitos-Thank you! Although I'm interested in the Finnish scene (and Finnish girls!) and although I know the single members, I confess that I didn't know this fantastic band. Unbelievable the arrangement of the Abba song. Any idea about the complete recording date-place?
Hi softnucleus. Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you like it. I'm afraid I have no further info. There are also some other tunes in there I don't know the name of. Good man.
Ok Andy. Will try to get more info from a very special guy of Finnish Jazz, good friend of mine.
Thanks Andy. I really enjoyed this at the time of broadcast, I seem to remember. Dancing Queen is much better as a drum solo, I find.
Thanks, Andy!
I've never heard of this group of musicians and the only artist I can think to compare their sound to is Mark Sandman and Morphine.
@Andy - the show was recorded at the EBU Jazz Festival in May 1999, as part of the Karlovi Vari International Jazz Festival In Prague, Czech Republic. I recorded it off the radio myself and posted it more than a year ago at a private blog. I made a sleeve for my copy, on which I put down track one as 'Summertime', which is in there somewhere!! Here for you and our other blogging friends is a link for the cover:
