About

Bamses Venner was a Danish pop and dance band from Aarhus, founded in 1973 by Flemming 'Bamse' Jørgensen, who sang, played bass and wrote most of the group's material. Over nearly four decades they became a beloved institution in Danish popular music, with hits including 'Vimmersvej', 'I en lille båd der gynger' and 'Tænker altid på dig' - the last of which won the Danish Melodi Grand Prix in 1980 and took the band to Eurovision. Jørgensen died of a cardiac arrest on New Year's night 2011, after which the remaining members played a handful of farewell concerts with Stig Rossen on lead vocals. Total record sales exceeded 3.5 million copies, and in 2022 a biographical film about Jørgensen's life was released, directed by Henrik Ruben Genz.
