Dear customer!

It’s time once again for the final issues of the year. It has been a special year in many ways and the stamps that we have issued have proved very popular, although most of the launches and events that are usually held in conjunction with a new issue had to be cancelled. The anniversaries of the towns of Bergen and Moss were celebrated in February, a competition on social media resulted in four dogs as the motifs on stamps in June, and the first two stamps in the Research, Innovation, Technology series were issued in September. One of the highlights of the year was the issue of stamps to commemorate the anniversary of VE Day on 8th May. Unfortunately the pandemic put a stop to the big celebrations that were to be held at Akershus Fortress to mark the occasion.

It is ten years this year since Rockheim, the National Museum of Popular Music in Norway, opened its doors in Trondheim, and the tenth time that artists have been inducted into the Rockheim Hall Of Fame. The three artists inducted in the anniversary year will feature on stamps designed by Camilla Kvien Jensen.

The theme for this year’s Christmas stamps is Christmas markets and street decorations. Inspiration for the motifs comes from Maihaugen open-air museum in Lillehammer. The stamps have been designed by Kristin Granli.

We’ll be celebrating Christmas again in a few weeks. Here at the Philatelic Service, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and thank you for supporting us this past year. We’re looking forward to new and exciting issues of stamps in 2021. You can find out more about next year’s stamps on the last page of the magazine.

Rockheim, vårt nasjonale museum for populærmusikk, innlemmer i år for tiende gang personer som har hatt stor betydning for norsk populærmusikk i Rockheim Hall of Fame.

Halvdan Sivertsen har siden gjennombruddet i 1979 vært en av Norges mest populære visekunstnere og entertainere.

Han debuterte på plate i 1973, mens gjennombruddet kom i 1979 med albumet «Nordaførr».

06.11.2020

Jonas Fjeld ble først kjent tidlig i 1970-årene. I 1975 kom solodebuten, og gjennom sin lange karriere utviklet han en egen musikkstil basert på rock og country-elementer. Han har også viet mye av sin tid til samarbeidet med Ole Paus i duoen To Rustne Herrer.

Sangeren og komponisten Radka Toneff var kjent for sin særegne, lavmælte stil. Hun fikk Spellemannprisen som beste vokalist i 1977 og ble tildelt Norsk Jazzforbunds Buddy-pris posthumt i 1982.
