There are multiple bands called The Margarets: 1. The Margarets are a Norwegian pop band consisting of Alex Rinde (lead vocal), Ante Giskeødegård (vocal & rythm guitar), Rune Berg (electric guitar & vocal), Lars Berg (bass), Klaus Robert Blomvik (drums) and Ronnie M.A.G.

All shining moments have their soundtracks. It's a December day and the colors refuse to plant themselves in the landscape, and the light hesitates to come forward. From the airplane window Giske looks like a ball someone has kicked into the ocean. It seems like the island is floating aimlessly in the wind. I stare down at Giske and think how so many songs are about streets, avenues, and towns. I can imagine Muddy Waters recording Hootchie Cootchie Man in Chicago. I see Elvis getting on the Mystery Train in Memphis. And more: Martha & the Vandellas dancing in the streets of Detroit, the Fab Four crossing Abbey Road. Even more: Van Morrison returning to Hyndford Street in Belfast, Paddy McAloon tipping his hat in greeting to Manhattan. The roads on Giske must have shrunk in the rain. There's not enough space for more than one car at
