| Haakon Ellingsen is a Norwegian singer songwriter whose focus is pop music. He was a member of the neopsychedelic pop group “The Last James,” in which he colaborated with Lars Pedersen of WHEN and Lars Lillo-Stenberg of De Lillos. While a part of the “The Last James” he released the following CDs : “The Last Dreamer” in 1997 with the band Gramophones and " What Is To Come...?" in 2004 with the band Sir Haakon & The Popular Musicians. He also released “Minstrel” in 2001 using the name Haakon, and in 2005 the critically acclaimed " Bounty: 9 Songs From An Armchair Sailor " using the name Haakon Ellingsen. The CD "Minstrel" is a bit celtic and the CD "What Is To Come...?" is a Norwegian’s escape into old-fashioned Britishness. The track “Jenny Kissed Me” from “Minstrel” was recently remixed by Bal (owner of PBM records). The CD "Bounty: 9 Songs From An Armchair Sailor " examines the concept that both the sea and distant shores are derived from a common source. His new album “The Best Kind Of Ghost" will be released in 2008.
