Spilverk þjóðanna was founded by Egill Ólafsson (Þursaflokkurinn, Stuðmenn), Sigurður Bjóla, Valgeir Guðjónsson (Stuðmenn) and Sigrún Hjálmtýsdóttir (now a prominent opera singer). They appeared on the scene in 1974 when disco and glam rock ruled and brought simplicity and honesty with sparse arrangement. They were very versatile and frequently exchanged instruments in mid-concert.
