The Copper Family at Guildford Institute

Just Bill and myself to see the Copper Family, who arrived a little late due to work commitments (but quickly found their way to the bar!) They are one of the few families who still pass on folk-singing from generation to generation, and have done so in the village of Rottingdean since time immemorial. They were one of the first families to have been 'collected' from, and pass on stories of the old days of ploughing with horses, running pubs etc. as well. They are not trained singers and so maybe a bit rough around the edges, but great fun and very interesting to listen to. Long may they multiply and do their best!

Why not? I'll have a word with the proprietors of my regular haunts :-)
