In the late sixties and early seventies he played an important - if short - part on the danish "beat scene" (ie rock, blues and progressive rock) - releasing his eponymous rock debut in 1969 - a psychedelic folkrock album in danish - and recording with Beefeaters and Burnin´ Red Ivanhoe.
For his seventies and eighties career he often joined forces with poet and songwriter Benny Andersen, first releasing the enormously popular Svantes Viser in 1973 - material that is canonized popular danish culture today. Dissing & Andersen mixed jazz and traditional danish songwriting with poetry of a gentle philosophical notion.
A return to rock and blues leanings, came particularly in different collaborations in the nineties and noughties - especially in Dissing, Dissing, Las og Dissing, a band that includes two Dissing sons.
Dissings style is unique and an essential characteristic is his hoarse voice and his theatrical style.
Povl Dissing passed away on 18th July 2022 at home, surrounded by his famiy.
