A band formed by Adam Anderson and Theo Hutchcraft is performing in Finland already for the fifth time on Saturday evening. Men who released their debut album in 2010 are in love with Finland.
“Finland is one of those countries were we have succeeded the most after Germany and Great Britain. In Britain we have been playing in clubs for a hundred people and here in an ice hall for seven-thousand people.” Says Theo, who is referring to last years gig at sold out ice hall in Helsinki.
Theo can’t specify the reasons for their popularity but he is experiencing that they have made a connection with the Finns.
“It’s seems like our music has found it’s home here and it’s nice that we’re cared. We’ve gotten a lot of friends from here and it’s a very dear country to us.”
Theo and Adam arrived in Helsinki already on Wednesday so they had a chance to getting to know the city for few days in peace.
“Helsinki is one of the best cities for partying. We’ve had some awesome nights and great parties, but now we have a opportunity to look and walk around in the day time.”
The pop stars admired the city and they got to know Suomenlinna. (translator’s note: Direct translation: Castle of Finland, an island part of Helsinki).
According to Theo, the gig in Espoo is going to be awesome ‘cause it’s the last one they’ll do before returning to their homeland, England. There they will continue working on with their up-coming album.
Hurts is performing at Espoo’s Weekend Festival on Saturday.
