This time we are proud to present Ruusu Open Mic in Sörkan Ruusu at May Day eve!

As the worm-up performers we are going to see awesome Lasse Hauerwaas and Kati Hiltunen.

After these performers, is the time for Open Mic as usual. 
You can sign up for Open Mic after warm-up performances. You are welcome to perform your text in any of your chosen language but we kindly ask you to keep it under 4 minutes, that all the willing performers have the opportunity to perform. It’s possible to connect your phone or guitar to the sound system if needed. 

At the end of the evening, glorious flowers from flower shop Lutukka will be drawn among the open micers.

The event is produced and hosted by Katja Korhonen and Natalia Karjalainen. Tea Tauriainen has designed the poster.
We thank our long lasting partner Restaurant Sörkan Ruusu!
