How to pronounce the names of band members (A-ha)?

[Raqueeb Hassan]

Hi,

I was wondering about the correct pronunciations of A-ha band members,
would you please help to get that right? Or can somebody please point
me to appropriate English speaking Norwegian newsgroup from no.*
hierarchy?

Now, while pronouncing these names ....

Morten Harket - Should it sound like 'Moten' and 'Haket' or 'Harke'?

Magne Furuholmen - Is that 'Mag-nay' and 'Foor-oo-omen'?

Paul Waaktaar-Savoy - Does that sound like 'Walk-tar'?

I'd appreciate should someone link me to a sound file containing
their names. I had similar problem with ABBA names. "Winner Takes It
All - The ABBA Story", the DVD had it all.
