The band was founded and led by John Magnar Bernes (vocalist and harmonica player, alias «Hungry John»), along with Per Jørgensen on guitar (replaced by Ole Thomsen in 1981), Kåre Sandvik on piano (1974-81), Edvard Askeland bass (replaced by Rune Rønning in 1981, and later Atle Mjørlaug 1983), and Frank Jakobsen drums (replaced by Willy Korneliussen in 1976). Zoltan Vincze joined the band together with Per Jørgensen in 1983.Bluesband from Bergen, started in 1974 by John Magnar Bernes, better known as Hungry John . Initially, the band would only have a job at Nattjazzen in Bergen that year, but demand became so big that it became a solid band. The first crew consisted of Bernese (vocals, harmonica), Per Jørgensen (guitar), Kåre Sandvik (piano), Edvard Askeland (bass) and Frank Jacobsen (drums). The latter ended in 1975 and later became a member of Cutting Edge . New drummer was Willy Cornelius. This crew was reinforced with a blowjob on the debut album Bergen Blues Bandin 1980. This was an impressive high-quality blues record, recorded in Bergen Lydstudio with Trygve Thue as producer, and contained eleven original compositions by Bernes. Within the next release, three of the members had quit: Jørgensen, Sandvik and Askeland went out, came Ole Thomsen (guitar) and Rune Rønning (bass). This quartet made Another Blues (1982), again with eleven original compositions. Within plate number three was made, the band had changed both style, crew and name. The ensemble now went under the name of Hungry John with his Bergen Blues Band, and the crew spoke six: Bernese, Cornelius, Thomsen, Atle Mjørlaug (bass), Per Jørgensen (now on cornet) and Zoltan Vincze (saxophone). The eleven original songs clearly showed that several of the members usually played jazz. Early in 1985, Bernes chose to dissolve the band to launch a new, more rocket blues band called The Blue Shadows. Everyone who was in Bergen Blues Band has been very strong in Norwegian music life (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergen_Blues_Band).
