The Copper Family

Occurring
for 45 mins
Venue
St Laurence, Falmer
Address
East St Falmer Brighton, BN1 9PB, United Kingdom

The Coppers have been renowned for their harmony singing, unusual in the English Tradition and possibly church-derived; this fact was noted when the Brothers Tom and James (Brasser) Copper were first ‘collected’ by noted classical singer and musicologist Mrs Kate Lee in 1898. The two were made honorary founder members of the Folk Song Society in 1899 (later to become the English Folk Dance and Song Society) – a fact of which they remained blissfully ignorant!
The land and specifically the Sussex Downland was always the backdrop to the family music and a deep love of the surrounding countryside is never far away from many songs in the repertoire – these were songs in celebration of their everyday work and the pride taken in it; they were treasured and handed down purely through the oral tradition.
