Review: "A clever arrangement of a well know tune from the talented pen of Bill Thorp. Originally made for the practical reason of having new and interesting music for regular dates in some of London's famous pizza parlours, the arrangements are also suitable for concerts, encores, or just enjoyment. For schools, studios, professionals." – New Issues October 1994

Biography

Biography

Thorp, Bill

Bill Thorp, born in 1952, started arranging music, while still at school, as a member of a folk group in which he played string bass. More experience followed with a college based acoustic folk-rock bank, playing violin, viola and piano, which went on to work professionally for two years. Later, in a varied career which included performing with string quartets at some of London's pizza restaurants, he was prompted to arrange music especially for that grouping and situation. Nowadays his playing career ranges from appearing on Renaissance, Baroque and Classical Violin with most of London's period instrument groups, to odd recording sessions on country and western fiddle.
