Yes, it’s all just gone up on the band’s website. The world tour kicks off in Finland, late December, Tampere first, then Helsinki on the 30th Dec, but not at the Hartwall this time. However tickets are available for the Helsinki gig…and we know a good hotel , where the owner speaks perfect English (as he said, “Have you ever tried learning Finnish?”), and is a big fan of English football (he could even tell me the score of Southampton’s match from the previous day - and we were in Div. 3 in those days).
No it wasn’t. I’d been buying up tickets for a few weeks but it’s quite a way to travel, and I’d probably need the next day off for return travel as well.
The 2 ladies have great voices, but they are not the same. Thankfully…!! The older material was written and pitched for Tarja (or later, Annette). Makes a difference. And the style of the songs also differs, for each voice.
GLS has been altered by or for Floor. The ‘famous’ ending is all hers, I think…?
The songs were written for Anette, so they should be a good ‘fit’, range & style wise.
Nothing ‘wrong’ with Anette, IMO. The way she ‘left’ seems not planned at all (it was in the middle of a US tour). Whereas, when Tarja left, it was (right at the end of a tour).
But… out of adversity… after a quick phone call (she was at her sister, Irene’s, wedding…), Floor flew over to the US and “… learned the set list in 48 hours…”.
