Today, on what would have been Bob Copper's 90th birthday, the Copper Family web site at http://www.thecopperfamily.com has been completely revised and updated.

All the original content as assembled by Garry Gillard is still there, but with a new design and navigation system, and there is some new content as well (for example, John Copper has written biographies of his grandfather Jim and great-grandfather Brasser). The song index pages (one for the Coppers' own traditional songs and another for songs collected by Bob Copper) have a search facility by which you can track down a song from a half-remembered scrap of lyrics. There is also the facility to buy on-line the Coppersongs 2 and 3 CDs and both the Copper Family Songbook and A Song for Every Season by Bob Copper.

The re-launch of the site is synchronised with tonight's event at the Royal Oak Folk Club, Lewes, where Bob's family and friends will be celebrating his birthday in a style of which he would have approved - song and beer.
