Folque Информация о группе Back in 1972 I was one of many young peolpe playing strange songs on minor-tuned guitars at the Folk Clubs of Oslo. Usually with a friend called Eilif Amundsen. In the spring I was asked to participate on an anti-EEC-record. I got together with a bunch of pals, and played my own song "Si ja til selvstendighet" (Yes, to independence!). Afterwards I toured along the southern coast and became acquainted with another singer/guitarist, Jørn Jensen. After the tour I joined Eilif and his brother and went with them to London, where I met a couple of other Norwegians, Lars Helljesen and Espen Løvstad. – That was the beginning of Folque. I the fall Jørn, Eilif and I started a group. We needed a singer and, and asked Lars' sister, Lisa, and the result was the folk group "Brød og Vin" (Bread and Wine). We was a strange musical mixture: Eilif and I played American Old Time (In the New Lost City Ramblers tradition), Jørn played Jansch-style guitar, and Lisa was a committed fan of the American singer Melanie. But we rehearsed some songs and got our first gigs In the spring 1973 we had begun to develop our own style: Translated English folk songs, traditional Norwegian songs, guitar, banjo, mandolin, and dulcimer. We changed our name to FOLQUE and were joined by Espen (who later on was to become our road manager) on percussion, Trond Øverland on bass-guitar and Trond Villa on fiddle. Jørn bought a Telecaster, and suddenly we were no longer an acoustic folk-group, but an electric folkrock-band. http://www.norskfolkemuseum.no/prosjekt/mogb/fq/engelsk/engelsk.htm Участники Jorn Jensen: sang/gitar/dulcimer 1973-1974 Trond Overland: bass/piano 1973-1975/1984 Trond Villa: fele 1973-1977 Lisa Helljesen: sang 1973-1977 Eilif Amundsen: banjo/gitar/bass 1973-1978 Morten Bing: mandolin/dulcimer/gitar/banjo/bouzouki 1973-1984/1992/1994/2002-2004 Lars Helljesen: sang/gitar 1975-1984/1992/1994/2002-2004 Morten Jakobsen: trommer 1975-1980 Jenn E.
