Knutsen & Ludvigsen


Knutsen & Ludvigsen (Translated names: "Tootson" and "Ludiwood") was a Norwegian singing duo consisting of Øystein Dolmen ("Knutsen") and Gustav Lorentzen ("Ludvigsen").

Writing and performing various songs mostly aimed at children, they released seven albums, two of which received Spellemannprisen - the Norwegian Grammy. They had several #1 hits, including "Grevling i taket", "Hallo! Hallo!" and "Dum og deilig". Since the late 90's, they have enjoyed a cult status among young Norwegians, performing a series of reunion concerts.

October 26, 2006, TV 2 broadcast the program "Knutsen & Ludvigsen - The Full Story". The Norwegian Pop & Rock Encyclopedia says: "This was more than a famous duo - Knutsen & Ludvigsen was an institution. The whole rock generation of the nineties was nourished by their records."

On 21 April 2010, Gustav Lorentzen died from a heart attack while participating in an orienteering race near Bergen. He was 62.
