Happy birthday to him.

Another candidate for an honour?

Actually, when I got there it was house-full - even Bob was sitting in the bar downstairs .. I think they let him in eventually .. but I had to go and find another session :)

Darn! Though, with all our musical heroes pegging off I thought I should make the effort .. perhaps it's sticking to Harvey's of Lewes beer what does it

Sorry you couldn't get in. It really was packed and yet another great evening courtesy of Vic and Tina Smith. Bob had a great time and was so pleased that his grandchildren were there (so were we, by the way). We're already making plans for January next year!

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.

What a fine looking revision of the website that is. Thanks for the notification.

My father would have been 86 today. He died within days of Bob. I hope they're having a pint and a laugh together somewhere.

Jon Dudley, nice to see you online!
Best wishes and much gratitude to you and Jill and John and all the grandkids and great-grandkids for continuing the Copper family music. What a grand send off you gave Bob. I'm sure you had a wonderful 90th birthday celebration for (with) him. Really nice new website too, and very touching poem of Bob's online.
Hope you can make a tour (all of you) to California sometime.
Love and hugs, Linda Mattson
