The trio attracted attention with their art, mainly with the so-called “tooth line”, where two of the members held a line outstretched with their teeth while the third performed balance numbers on it. It was the leader of Furuvik's Youth Circus Bodo West (Rosenberg), who in the early 1950s inspired them to this number and they performed with the circus from 1952.
Göthe Persson, Egon Larsson and Boris Bengtsson were the names of the original members. Persson and Bengtsson were later succeeded by Gert Karlsson and Egon Larsson's Danish-born wife Bende born Malling.
The trio toured in the early 60's in Australia and New Zealand for more than a year. They have toured in South Africa , Ghana , South America and the United States . In Sweden , they performed at the China Variety in Stockholm or at Liseberg in Gothenburg . In the 1969 season, they traveled with Cirkus Scott in Sweden. In September 1975, they worked at the Casino du Liban in Beirut . It was their last commitment. They then withdrew and moved on to other activities.”
Here's their act on an Ed Sullivan Show from 1967:

Even though I don't understand what's being said, it seems quite nostalgic to watch it. This is what the video's description reads in English:
“For seven months I have from time to time devoted myself to the documentary about Trio Höganäs and in return I have made three new friends – Bende, Egon and Gert – who are 90 years old. What an outstanding career they have had with encounters with a twelve-year-old Michael Jackson and The Beatles before they became famous. The stories are endless. The film is funded by Höganäs Municipality and Längmanska Kulturfonden and it was created on the initiative of Kullabygdens Idrottshistoriska förening.
I show the film to those who want to in the gym at Höganäs sports center on Saturday 26/5 at lunchtime. Here is a quickly carpented trailer to attract marginal spectators to the event.”
Any help with the translation of what the performers are saying, would be really useful:
