about

First a traditional Swedish slängpolska from Harg in the region of Uppland. Kristian learned this tune from his good friend, Daniel Hedman who lives in beautiful Österänge in the Northern part of Uppland.

Andy wrote Vänkärin polska (The Shotgun Polska) in 2005, supposedly in the style of a Northumbrian 3/2 hornpipe, but the rest of the band insisted it's a polska, and Esko gave it a Finnish name which means 'the front passenger seat of a car' or 'shotgun'!!
