In 1972 a subset of the band was initially named «Brød & Vin» (Bread & wine), they changed the name to Folque in the spring of 1973 after adding members and traditional instruments to the ensemble. The band was dissolved in 1984, but reunited in 1994 and in 2004 for playing live. Folque is re-established in 20141 with Lisa Helljesen as lead singer.
