I've just been watching a repeat of a Spicks and Specks episode from 2007, where they finished with a clip of the Finnish Men's Shouting Choir. What a fantastic clip! It started with a man in a suit marching across the ice towards a huge ice-breaker. Another twenty or so other men joined him, lined up and waited for him to begin conducting.
It was almost musical but the close-ups were wonderful. Unshaven faces with odd hairstyles and yellow teeth were not particularly pretty and the effort of shouting made them even uglier. Maybe we should have a shouting choir in Tasmania. All we need is a frozen sea and an ice-breaker.
