Guro says: "I have played in a lot in bands, and eventually became tired of sitting quietly to one side while the boys in the band decided the arrangements. Therefore, I decided to start a band where I was the boss and did everything myself instead of being dependent on others to create music.

I got some of my favourite musicians to join me, from Västanå Teater, Världens Band, Sallyswag, Sver, and Premo & Gustavsson. I taught them dance tunes after Salve Austenå - one of the oldest living source of the hardanger fiddle traditions we have today in Norway today - and wrote some more in the same style. The result has become the band GKN 5, and the album Bestastovo.
