rich-joy Audrey Coppard (England, c.1956) - bio? (14) Audrey Coppard (England, c.1956) - bio? 03 Feb 25


I found a track ('Scarborough Fair') by Audrey Coppard on the excellent compilation by Elijah Wald for the Bob Dylan biopic "A Complete Unknown".
I was curious about this English singer becoz I cannot recall hearing of her before!
She recorded an album (English Folk Songs) for Folkways (now on Smithsonian) in 1956 of 14 folksongs, accompanied on 8 of the tracks by American guitarist, Lesley Davidson.

Any Catters familiar with her and can comment on her history?? (is she still alive?) My searches online have turned up nothing (unless she is also an author? but those pages still tell me nothing about Audrey herself .....

Thanks. R-J
