Folque :the history of a Norwegian folk rock group

Back in 1972 I was one of many young people 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 were 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 folkrockband.
