Per-Martin Hamberg

In high school at Östersund he met Karin Juel, and with her help he was able to publish a number of melodies, including Stora Skrällen and a ballade on the fiddlers of the French king.

During his first year in Stockholm, Hamberg describes his aspiration for his former hometown Östersund in the known melody „Nu tänds åter ljuse i min lilla stad“ under the pseudonym Erik Decker.

Some of the radio shows which were redefined with Hamberg's help were Föreningen för Flugighetens främjande (FFFF) with Povel Ramel, Frukostklubben with Sigge Fürst, Karusellen with Lennart Hyland, and the long running quiz Tjugo frågor with himself as program director and Astrid Lindgren, Stig Järrel and Kjell Stensson as contributors.

From early on Per-Martin Hamberg was interested in TV as media, and was program head at the Swedish Television from 1955 until 1962, where he started the shows Kvitt eller dubbelt and Stora famnen.

In 1962 Per-Martin donated to the Uppsala history museum a valuable copy of trapping scissors which were made at the end of the 18th century to catch the great sea monster Storsjöodjuret.
