The Beefeaters

A precursor to this band was formed in Copenhagen in early 1964, but their strong orientation towards blues-rock began only with the arrival of Peter Thorup in 1966.

In 1967, The Beefeaters played as support band for Jimi Hendrix, John Mayall and Pink Floyd during their concerts in Denmark.

The Beefeaters weren't entirely blues purists either, displaying both beat and soul influences.

[1] In 1969, Povl Dissing left the group, which continued for a while longer with Ole Fick (from Burnin' Red Ivanhoe) as their lead singer.

The post-Dissing group recorded the soundtrack to Jesper Høm's 1969 film Smil Emil, but no further vinyl output emerged.
