OK and now I know since Palmi told me today that this was not the Ponik nor Mannakorn, but a band that he and Maggi Einars formed and they named it The Blues Company :) so now we all know that :)

This isn't true either. The Blues Company came much earlyer. It was formed by me Magnús Eiriksson and a bassplayer called Garðar (don't remember his surname) who died a short time later. Diddi Cortes filled his place in that group. Palmi didn't come in until after 1975. I had then left the country. The group in this video was not a working group but was put together only for this particular recording. just to make things clear.
