It all started with four friends that wanted to sing C.M.Bellman songs a-capella in the autoum of 1998.

The quartett was up and running.

It was some more friends that wanted to sing C.M. Bellman also, so in the spring 1999 the choir was expanded with another four singers and an octett was formed with Per Helge Ekelund as an conductor and master.

The repertoar was enough for the first consert.  On newyar 2000 the choir was extended with another five singers and it become a "twelve-tirth" - Bellman 12-13.

We are singing on choirfestivals, shantyfestivals and different private arrangements, are member of NAS, The Norwegian Laboursinging association, we also are the "houschoir" for the asosciation for the Morsa Aquavite 1833, wich is an excelent aquavite from Moss. We are every year at the International Shantyfestival in Langesund, Norway.
