Heikki Lund, actor, songwriter, playwright. One of the most famous traditional troubadours in Finland. He is well known as the performer of C.M. Bellman's songs. Heikki Lund has often been awarded for his work.

At the beginning of the 20th century poet and journalist Eino Leino was the most popular person at the restaurants in Helsinki. His charisma filled whole place and everybody had fun. My Leino performances have the same effect. The Prince of Poems tells the stories of the nation's rising stars and famous artists during the Russian occupation.

"Although my motto is only my modesty exceeds my charm, even today I am considered to be the most beloved poet in Finland". Talented artists of the early 20th century such as Leino and Jean Sibelius and Axel Gallén created a new national spirit and prepared the ground for Finnish independence. On the other hand, many of them were disreputable for their bohemian lifestyle. Eino Leino tells his charming and sparkling way about symposion brothers and sisters in The Tuusula Lake Road and the artist restaurants in Helsinki.

The Runoruhtinas (The Prince of Poems) is a hugely popular presentation. Performance contains also songs. The style is easy going and funny, but based in facts. Duration of the performance as agreed, usually 30-40 minutes.
