    Episode 68 - Tomi Tajakka / Remmel Returns (from Steve 'n' Seagulls)

    Tomi Tajakka / Remmel! I interviewed Tomi/Remmel last time almost ten years ago. He has been doing very well. His band Steve 'n' Seagulls is doing great, and they have been touring the world for years. Tomi’s With Miska episode can also be found on YouTube channel With Miska Podcast Episodes: https://youtu.be/deCh4IM44Dk?si=NuUEMkwtF4L_ai5V I wanted to catch up with Tomi, and I wanted to ask him about his newly released solo album Little Western Songs From The North by Remmel & Rattlesnakes. Tomi also shares about touring with Steve 'n' Seagulls, and much more. I have known Tomi for almost 40 years, since we both are from the same small town in Finland, Iisalmi. What a wonderful and sweet talk this is. Life goes on, and we keep on grinding. An excellent talk!
