Sjugurd and Hans – composers, friends and oppositions

Aslak Brimi (violin) with musicians Erlend Viken (violin) and Stein Magne Eggen (accordion) takes on the music and history of the two violinists and friends Hans W. Brimi (1917-1998) and Sjugurd Garmo (1896-1991) from Garmo in Lom. Whereas one of them regularly went touring and played nationwide at theaters and radio, the other was more of a homeloving person, who enjoyed rehearsing with the local members of Lom spelemannslag
