Vinskvetten

Norwegian folk music and comedy group

From Salhus in Hordaland, the band first appeared on a local music revue in 1975. They performed under the name Salhus Vinskvetten Vodka Cinzano a nod at another popular band from the same town: Salhuskvintetten (AKA Salhuskvintetten OLKABILAMO). Two name changes followed; their first release was under the name Salhusvinskvetten and later on simply called Vinskvetten. Their last show, so far, was their 40th anniversary celebration Vinskvetten – livet i Rothålå which played at at Rick's Teater in Bergen between autumn 2015 and January 2016. Previous members (as of 2009): Steinar Toft, Knut Langeland, Bjørn Ivar Rusten, Stein Langeland, Karl Atle Knappskog, Kjell Østerbø and Roald Tellevik.
