Finland has announced that its entry for the Europe wide Eurovision song contest will be performed by an unusual punk band called Pertti Kurikka's Nameday. They are very different from most bands in one respect: all four members have learning disabilities and some of them live in sheltered housing. Outlook's Lucy Ash spoke to bass player Sami Helle in 2013 - he told her how the band was formed. Picture: Pertti Kurikka's Nameday, Sami Helle is third from the left, on the bass.
