The English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS) and
The Copper Family invite you to celebrate the life, work and
legacy of this gentle giant of the folk world, Bob Copper.
In his lifetime Bob was responsible for collecting and
recording many folk songs, not only preserving the tunes
and lyrics, but ensuring that the style in which they were
sung remained true to that of his forefathers. He produced
a number of recorded collections and published several
books, such as the award-winning A Song For Every Season.
His legacy is continued by his family, who share the music
lovingly preserved by their father and grandfather, through
their songs, recordings and books.
This day-long celebration will culminate in a special concert
featuring some of the biggest names in today’s folk scene.
