A stranger in a strange land

***

Thanks to [personal profile] sewn for bringing this delightful video to my attention. The Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra has recruited their first foreign conductor; a Brit called Nicholas Collon (who looks like he's a Brandybuck or a Took which I approve). This is his introduction video.


Absolutely quality.

He looks like Pippin in his pictures online. The only negative thing is he went to Eton but also to Cambridge which I've always preferred to Oxford. Hopefully he'll do well

This is HILARIOUS. I love how it's simultaneously "The bit in Eurovision where a country introduces itself", "Here are all the most Finnish things we can think of", and THE MOST THREATENING THING ON EARTH. Absolutely grand. And yeah, he looks like a hobbit, but he also looks like literally every Youth Drama Leader I've ever had.

I had no idea what I was about to watch, but that was fabulous. And I agree, Eurovision intro like, which of course is also fabulous.

He *is* a Took! :D
I'm sure a ton of Finnish references flew over my head, but that was deee-lightful.
