Norsk Musikkbyrå

Norsk Musikkbyrå (N.M.B.) was established on December 17th, 1984 as an alternative to the Norwegian performing rights society TONO (2). The board consisted of Ketil Stokkan (chairman), Ottar "Big Hand" Johansen, Trond Ingebretsen and Ingrid Bjørnov. CEO was Sæmund Fiskvik. Financial security was supposed to come from Slagerfabrikken (Audun Tylden and Jan Paulsen), and Norsk Plateselskap AS (Gunnar Hordvik); as well as Åge Aleksandersen, Terje Tysland and Ole Paus. This never happened. Name variations: - Norsk Musikkbyrå - nmb - NMB - N.M.B.
