Edin Bahtijaragic: accordeon.

Now there is only one thing in his head besides music: football! Has a degree in traditional music from the Academy of Malmö. Works as music teacher and theater musician.Pär Moberg: saxophone. Former rock-singer wannabee who fell in love with folk in his early twenties and picked up the saxophone.

Also has a degree in traditional Music from the academy of Malmö, and works as folk ensemble teacher both at the Highschool of music and at the Academy of Music in Malmö, besides playing with several other bands.Jonatan Aisen: drums.

With only one year left of his studies at the Conservatory of music in Copenhagen, Øivind decided to change career, and was accepted as a student at the Accademy of Industrial design instead. He still plays tuba, of course, and is actually developing a whole new concept for the design of this un-ergonomic instrument! Has received the Jacob Gade Award, the most prestigious award for a young Danish musician.Tobias Allvin: guitar and bozouki.
