Fin Alfred Larsen is my father. The name “Alfred” was my grandfather’s first name. My sons both has Alfred as a middle name, just like me.
Fin Alfred has a large repertoire of Danish songs, everything from working songs and labour songs, over love songs, to soldiers songs and more ‘naughty’ songs.
We have been playing and performing together ever since I was just a boy, we actually celebrate our 40th anniversary together in 2017. We used to play in Fin Alfred’s wedding band, and we still perform together occasionally, for example at Skagen Festival 2016, and on a small tour around Denmark in the autumn of 2017. In 2019 we did celebrate Fin’s 80th birthday, as well as his 70th anniversary playing music, by releasing a digital album, with some of Fin’s best songs.
Fin Alfred’s album, “Håndværkersange og skæmteviser fra København og omegn” (Working songs and joking songs from Copenhagen and suburbs), on which I am playing as well, got a Danish Music Award (Danish “Grammy”) as “Danish Ballad Album of the Year 2004”.
