The Hootenanny Singers (for a couple of weeks originally called the Westbay Singers, Westbay English for Västervik) were a popular folk group from Sweden, founded in 1961, and continuing into the 1970s. The group included Björn Ulvaeus, who later was a member of ABBA. Other bandmembers were Johan Karlberg, Tony Roth and Hansi Schwarz. The group was named "The Northern Lights" for an American-released LP in 1966. They debuted on the Swedish TV-show Hylands hörna with locally famous Swedish poet Dan Andersson's Jag väntar vid min mila.
