Needlepoint (band)

Needlepoint includes some leading Norwegian jazz musicians according to Tor Hammerø. David Wallumrød joined the team in 2012 and the album Outside The Screen was released the same year. Olaf Olsen known from Bigbang, replaced Thomas Strønen in 2014. He was replaced with Ola Øverbye, known from Fieh, in 2024. The latest album Walking up That Valley was released in 2021. They operate in a soundscape somewhere between psychedelic 1970's rock and jazz-rock. Needlepoint have played at several festivals in Norway, at different clubs, and has also been touring in China. In November 2013 they played in Paris, and appeared at 2016 Nattjazz in Bergen, Norway. == Band members ==
