Brian Hopper (born 3 January 1943) is an English guitarist and saxophonist.
Hopper was born in Whitstable, Kent, England, and is the older brother of the late bassist Hugh Hopper. With Hugh, he was a member in the early Canterbury scene band Wilde Flowers. He co-wrote several tracks on Soft Machine's 1968 debut album. After guesting on saxophone during the sessions for the follow-up album Volume Two in early 1969, he joined Soft Machine full-time for five months from May to October 1969. The death of two bandmates in the early 1970s discouraged Hopper from pursuing a proper career in music, so he went into agricultural crop protection research and development instead.[1]
Only in the latter part of the 1990s, did Hopper re-emerge as an artist of contemporary as well as historical significance. One of his projects was Canterburied Sounds, a four-CD compilation of archival Canterbury scene recordings from his private collection.
