Thread Name: Copper Family House Concert
Subject: RE: Copper Family House Concert
Maeve, you may not be aware that Jeff is a very old friend of the Coppers, having been very close to Bob, and remaining close to the middle and younger generations. He relates proudly that, in his first TV appearance at a young age, one of the songs he sang was from the Coppers; he has 'Six Jolly Miners' - learned from a personal recording of songs with concertina accompaniment that Bob sent him - in his repertoire to this day.

Both of us treasure the memory of a 'personal house concert' we gave for Bob at Jon and Jill's house, at a point where Bob's health wasn't allowing him to get out much. I'd like to have been in Peacehaven last night as well.
