Just when you thought it was quiet in the mall…

Music’s like a heatwave

- Alannah Myles

Or more like a tsunami, that hit Trio Mall on Friday and Saturday (17th and 18th) as KWC Organization set up the soundsystem in the middle of the mall and let the Champions do the talking (singing.). This event was a sequal to the promo event that we had in Lanun Aukio earlier. The current Champions, Lu Hee Wah (”Kelvin”) and Julie Walter-Sgro flew to Finland on Thursday and the very next day they were letting the people of Lahti know that it’s time for KWC! On Friday Juha Karvonen and Heidi Ruuska performed with Kelvin and Julie and on Saturday the Champions were joined by Kristoffer Ignatius and Maria Saarimaa-Ylitalo, all (except Maria, she was the third runner-up in womens category in 2005) current members of the Finnish team.

Julie, Kelvin, Kristoffer, Maria

People were curious

Regardless of the busy-busy-busy shopping, people could not resist Kelvin’s performances, mesmerized they just had to lay the bags down for a few minutes.

Kristoffer giving it all

Kristoffer & whole lot of feeling

Its all about fun

Karaoke is all about having fun!

We are proud to say, that once again the extremely talented KWC singers were able to convert hundreds of karaoke cynics to the right side of the force :) Trio haven’t seen anything like this, and probably won’t…until KWC 2009 that is!

Rest of the pictures here…
