BRIGHTON ACOUSTIC SESSION
The Lord Nelson, Trafalgar Street, Brighton

Monday July 6

John Copper

 

After years of performing with other members of his illustrious family John needed some persuasion to sing for us last year as he reckoned he hadn’t done a solo gig for 35 years.
On the night however, he blew everyone away with a note- and word-perfect performance. He stuck mostly to his intention to roll out his music hall repertoire but with sundry kin there in support the night ended joyously with the whole audience joining in with some family favourites.

 

Hope you can make it - we’re expecting another packed house.

 

In case you need reminding, here is the legacy of the greatest folk singing family of the English-speaking world:
