Heldeke! once again succeeded in drawing a massive crowd for their Saturday night double act, Playful Days and Sinful Nights, a dual Burlesque show put on by a group out of Lappeenranta. The…
Cellar Sessions @ Heldeke!
On the fly and off the cuff, Raptorjesus42’s genre switches challenged and responded to challenge from Lebo Sibul’s growling, ringing guitar.

Their presentation is intentionally Tolkienesque, a nymph and her woodland knight, as they move through songs that each brought to their partnership. Halldorson whistles on Speaker of Trees, and throughout the evening Rose sings in Estonian, English, and Elvish.
