Peter Thorup
Peter Thorup (born December 14, 1948 , † August 3, 2007 in Rønne , Bornholm ) was a Danish musician . As a guitarist , singer , composer and producer he shaped the blues scene in Denmark.
In the 1960s he was touring his home country with his band "Beefeaters", which enjoyed great popularity, at the end of the 60s Alexis Korner took on them.
From 1969 he worked closely with Alexis Korner in England and played with Korner, his daughter Sappho Korner , Nick South , Ray Warleigh , Annette Brox , Per Frost and Colin Hodgkinson at New Church. The Korner group had their first appearance as the opening act for the Rolling Stones in Hyde Park at the memorial concert for Brian Jones on July 5, 1969. Just one year later, the band broke up again, as the successes were lacking.
From 1970 Thorup belonged to Korner's studio band CCS . After their dissolution in 1973, Korner and Thorup founded the band "Snape" together with Boz Burrell from King Crimson and Ian Wallace, which only existed for a short time. Snape was Korner's last band project; after their dissolution, the alcoholic Thorup worked mainly in Denmark and could no longer build on his earlier successes. Together with Ole Frimer he formed the duo "Peter Thorup & Ole Frimer". He also worked a lot with the Danish drummer Ken Gudman .
