0:00.0	The Hi folks and welcome to episode 66 of soda jerker on song racing.
0:22.1	This is Simon here and with me as always is Brian.
0:24.8	Hello Simon.
0:25.8	Hello Brian how are you? Well actually I've not been... That's terrific.
0:28.8	Joining us today is a gifted Norwegian singer-songwriter who's since emerging as a precocious youngster in his
0:34.0	homeland at the turn of the 21st century has firmly established himself as an

1:25.6	showcase as well for his uncanny knack with a catchy melody and a bedeviling chord sequence.
1:30.5	Bedeviling ladies and gentlemen. Yeah I love that one too. Just before we speak to our
1:35.8	guest we'll tell you a little bit more about him. He was born in 1982 in the town of Bergen
