There is a surprisingly keen although tiny following even in Jyväskylä in itself since the nineties and I think the Manics have always been quite well received everywhere in Finland. No noisy drunks in the audience this time either, mostly people in their 40's that I am sure were pleased to hear the old hits and understood reasons for Nicky's absence. To be honest I was very surprised that they came to a small local festival in Jyväskylä, but personally I could not be happier.
