Patrik Weckman (Finland)

Patrik is a multiinstrumentalist whom everybody remembers for having played jouhikko
( = stråkharpa = Finnish bowed lyre) at every single Nordic Harp Meeting.
He also plays the harp; it was made by Yrjänä Ermala.
Patrik has identified and arranged some Finnish tunes for the ensemble playing:
Both some medieval song melodies from the Piae cantiones collection, and some
traditional fiddle tunes which work well on the harp. So if you are very nice to him,
he might be allspel leader when it comes to these tunes.
