Ainbusk

Formed on the island of Gotland, Ainbusk first attracted attention in 1984 when they won a talent show, Talang-84, in Stockholm.

Ainbusk spent the early 1990s honing their stage act – they became known for injecting elements of humour into their performances – and the result was a 1993 live album Från när till fjärran (From Near and Far), including Varje steg du tar (a version of Sting's "Every Breath You Take").

A Christmas album, I midvintertid: En jul på Gotland came out in 2001 and included versions of "Fairytale of New York", "Fields of Gold" and "Forever Young".

The group's fourth album, Skynda att älska (Rush to Love) appeared in 2002 and Ainbusk celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2003 with the release of En samling, a career retrospective also featuring three new tracks.
