Alpo Pitkänen Suurkurkuksi / for Master of Songmasters 2025

Hey-jay-jay moi-moi-moi, Alpo! Great to see you as a competitor for the role - I remember that songleading together with you was great, I feel like you can make a great Suurkurkku!
Nevertheless, let’s turn on the grill and put some questions on it:

  • I noticed that for some songleading for the first time ever might feel somewhat scary. How do you think we can help the new songleaders overcome that fear and support their first dive into songleading?
  • Sometimes a sitsit might devolve into pure chaos. What should the songleaders do in such a case?
  • What’s your opinion on if the songs in English belong to a purely Finnish-speaking sitsit or not? What about the opposite?
  • What’s your totem “what’s your totem …” question?
  • Some songs include drinking in the middle, should the skåling be done after such songs?
  • “The Masters of Songmasters” sounds a bit cumbersome and blant, IMO. Do you have any ideas on how to call the role of Suurkurkku in English in a better way?
  • What shall we do with a drunken sailor?

With cheers and happy election spirit!
Kirill, from the sitsit I suddenly got to songlead
Skål!
