Korkkijalka was a Finnish folk band, most known for playing Irish folk music. The band was founded in 1982 as "Shandrum". In 1984 the band, led by Kari Reiman, played in a theatre play called "Richard's Corkleg" by Brendan Behan. Record label Hi-Hat wanted to release the soundtrack, but demanded that the name of the band should be in Finnish, and this is how Shandrum changed into Korkkijalka. The band was disbanded around 1989. Last known line-up: Kari Reiman - tamboura, violin, mandola, vocals Timo Vakkilainen - guitar, banjo, vocals Markku Lauren - guitar, cittern, vocals Harry Bent - vocals, spoons, bodhrán Kalle Jämsen - guitar, mandolin Kurt Lindblad - tin whistles, flute Petri Hakala - mandolin, bouzouki Former members: Christian Nilson - tin whistles, bodhrán, vocals, bagpipes Ari Vakkilainen - violin
