Flutes and Whistles
Born 1948. Multi-faceted musical background. Full-time musician since 1967. Has been involved in classical music, traditional music, folksong, jazz, constantly hovering on the verge of pop and rock. Through this work he has succeeded in creating an easily recognizable musical definition for himself.

THE MUSICIAN - Since starting on 3 notes on a recorder as a 6-year old and an accordion as a 10-year old, he has moved on to cello, string bass, electric bass, timple and Hardanger fiddle, and not to mention a host of flutes for which he is best known. In the 60's he played in symphony orchestras, chamber music groups, big bands and folk groups. Nevertheless, it was the participation in the well-known folk group "The Young Norwegians" that started him out on a course that he is still following. He has been involved in about 100 recordings; he has recorded numerous solo records, and has received the prestigious Spellemann prize (Grammy) for two of them.
