We have a couple of Finns here as well as plenty of music fans so I'll put this out there - from another forum - just in case.
QuoteSo I've been trying to think of a band for quite a few days now. It's like, a Finnish/English band. It's songs go from Finnish to English, and at times has a bit of a bluegrass feel to it. It's like I can remember the feel of the song, but literally none of the lyrics or song names! please help!
.
That's about as vague as it gets but hey, somebody may know?
Steve n Seagulls, they do bluegrass covers of lots of old classics?

So disappointing - When I saw Finnish band I thought I was going to get a bit of Nightwish. :facepalm:
I've bought tickets to see Magnum and Within Temptation / Evenescence and Nightwish in 2020. The first two shows have already been cancelled due to the Coronavirus thing, I'm holding out hope for Nightwish as it's not until December.

You do realize the whole band Within Temptation is Dutch, so is the lead singer of Nightwish :smoke:
We Dutch do not only export cheese and flower bulbs :happy1:

Had to watch it twice as i was laughing too hard the first time. Briliant. "SOUND OF THE DRUMS...then the accordion bup bup, nearly fell of my chair laughing.
The banjo player did well though....

Not sure how this got onto the Dutch but speaking of it, none of the above mentioned are anywhere near the top 10.

Netherlands Top 10 Exports
The following export product groups represent the highest dollar value in Dutch global shipments during 2018. Also shown is the percentage share each export category represents in terms of overall exports from the Netherlands.
Machinery including computers: US$99.9 billion (13.8% of total exports)
Mineral fuels including oil: $97.2 billion (13.4%)
Electrical machinery, equipment: $94.3 billion (13%)
Pharmaceuticals: $43.2 billion (6%)
Optical, technical, medical apparatus: $34.9 billion (4.8%)
Vehicles: $29.5 billion (4.1%)
Plastics, plastic articles: $27.9 billion (3.9%)
Organic chemicals: $25.1 billion (3.5%)
Iron, steel: $16.4 billion (2.3%)
Other chemical goods: $12.3 billion (1.7%)
But I have a problem with this list.
Vehicles. They don't build that many Spyker (http://spykercars.com/) supercars so what vehicles are these?
Probably DAF trucks and buses. Wonder if they count the vehicles that pass through say from skoda, vw, bmw, mercedes etc, as they all have to pass through nl to be exported from Rotterdam.

I did indeed - as are Delain who I did get to see again last month just before the world brough the shutters down.
I've a lot to thank the Dutch for musically and Charlotte Wessels not only
sounds good :smile2:
