JOHN
COPPER
He was
just sixteen when he made his first public debut, alongside his father at The
Royal Festival Hall but this will be a rare solo appearance. In addition to the
familiar Copper family favourites there are sure to be songs from his
grandfather James’ cherished comic and music hall repertoire.
John and
his sister Jill now bear the torch handed down by their father, Bob, the
prolific author and broadcaster and who are now joined in their glorious
harmony singing by their burgeoning extended family. Between them they carry
this unrivalled heritage with an easy familiarity born of seven generations of family
song sessions round the kitchen table.
There
will be fascinating insights into the quotidian pleasures and hardships of work
and leisure in the heydays of pre-industrial farming life, with and anecdotes and
banter a-plenty.
Next month: Terry Masterson & Emily Mae Winters
