It is a true pleasure to welcome the Valentourettes back to the Arena!
The members have backgrounds from both Jokke & Valentinerne and Jokke Med Tourettes, and as the band name indicates, this is a merger of these two. With Petter Pogo on bass, Runar "Kula" Johannessen on drums and Petter Baarli himself on guitar, they constitute a powerhouse with long experience, and solid experience with the material. Tarjei Foshaug has been a vocalist since 2006. He delivers Joachim Nielsen's songs with true empathy, and has distinguished himself as a driving front man. The band has played to full houses from Longyearbyen to Flekkefjord, to stormy cheers and great joy, both for those who managed to experience Jokke when he was among us, and those who have had to settle for the records.
