The comedian Eija Vilpas, known to the whole nation, is a cheerful and articulate performer, also at the crest-raising ceremony. Eija's spontaneous performance is perfect for crest-raising ceremonies, for example, and makes them feel like a homely moment.
The music is handled by Eija and the master musician Merja Ikkelä . Eija and Merja bring a breath of fresh air to the very male-dominated group of performers at the ridge-raising festival.
