this is vague, I know ... but ... There was a bloke very popular a couple of years back who sang Norwegian folk songs with a tiny bit of a yodel on certain notes. What is his name?

Could it be Ailu Gaup? He is Sami from Norway.

You can hear him on the David Lidley and Henry Kaiser CD "The Sweet Sunny North.

The Sweet Sunny North: Henry Kaiser and David Lindley in Norway (with some sound clips). "Reindeer Against The Wind" is a "yodelling-ish" song.

Another yodellish sort of Norwegian is Alice Babs. Listen to her version of After You've Gone. Masato will probably have a link to it!

I didn't find her "After You've Gone" clip. Instead, found this:

"The most ethnic, and paradoxically enough the most international singer we have in Norway is Mari Boine. She is a Sami and incorporates more modern pop expressions into her traditional "joik" ­ a type of yodelling which consists of rythmic sung poems or poetic songs. She has been invited to perform at a number of festivals of ethnic music through-out the world and has created her own special musical expression."
(From Norwegian pop music)

This may well have been Jodle Birge, who passed away not so long ago. Some years ago I met him at the International Festival Of Country Music in Wembley, UK. He told me he was famous across Europe as a yodeller, although subsequent searches of his albums have revealed only 2 yodels! He had a good voice and did yodel that night - but only on one song
