About Me

bristol songs play Nordic melancholic music. Olav plays the guitar and sings, Espen plays another guitar, Thomas plays the bass and Frederik plays the piano. Grethe Aarum writes the lyrics.

The goal? To make you curious, make you listen and download... We love music. We love to write. To sing. To make music. If you like it, we will be happy...

If you like our music, why don't buy our brand new CD? Mathias (5 years old) helped us with the artwork. If you click on the button below, we will send you a CD for 12 Euros (approx 15 USD, shipping included).
