A small re-cap of the days before KWC 2009 actually started, in pictures:

The first ones to arrive to Finland were Michael Bates, male champion from 2008 and Loveless Johnson III, the producer of the live broadcast from this year’s event.

After that we headed towards Helsinki to Sonic Pump Studios, where Erkka Korhonen (the producer of the album) and some of the guys from band were recording instrumentals for Michael’s upcoming album:

The party officially started when KWC Ireland arrived with the rest of the Irish supporters. Along with the Irish, everyone from the international KWC family headed towards Heinola (the town where the first Karaoke World Championships took place back in 2003) to Cronin’s Cafe & Guesthouse for some karaoke!:
