Janne Laurila & Tuhlaajapojat live on Independence Day!
CLUB O’GAEA PRESENTS:
INDEPENDENCE DAY with
JANNE LAURILA JA TUHLAAJAPOJAT on Friday, 6th of December
“Snapshots, epiphanies of daily life, pondering the unrealistic expectations and dreams, empathy to the unsuccessful, life control for the young adults, songs about frustration and laziness, comfort in the small moments.
Janne’s organic music has a glow of folk, modern and pop, 70’s guitar rattle, loose rhytm music and the sturdy American hihgway groove.”

Thank you all for a Grand Party!
We would like to thank you all for the awesome party on Sunday! This place would not be the same without our loyal customers and you guys really made the party. We were happy to see that so many of you took the time to dress up and run away with Circus O’Connell’s. We hope you all had as much fun as we did!
We would also like to thank our great performers: Lucky Hell , Jose Ahonen and
Mr. Ville Mäkinen and his band!
We also chose the customer of the year again and this time the honour went to Mr. Kris Le May , who’s been helping us out with various things, drank with us all ‘till the wee hours and is a familiar sight at the counter. He is also helping us with all our carpentry needs!
Congratulations to Kris!
And, as always, we also picked the best costumes of the evening: 1st place went to Aki and his annoying Monkey outfit, the 2nd place went to Ville, the trapeze artist, and the 3rd place was taken by Hanna as a snake charmer.

The revolutionary 'Student Discount Days'
Sure there are plenty of bars looking to get the students in with the appeal of cheap beer. The only problem is that, while the domestic products are alright, nothing is done with any of the great imported beer coming in.
O’C‘s is here to change all that by giving generous discounts on all of our tap selection. For only €5.00 per pint you can have your choice of the best beers from around the world. Bring along your valid student ID on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays!
