Mike Miller couldn't be more wrong about the Copper Family and The Dubliners, though he may be right about The Weavers.

The Copper Family have an unbroken tradition of singing together that goes back more than a hundred years, this is why it sounds so good, and if you'd care to research The Dubliners history you will find out that in their early days they NEVER arranged anything, it was all concieved in the heat of performance, they also rarely went on stage sober.
