Johnny Coppin with Paul Burgess
Saturday 25th March 2023 Doors open 7.00pm Start time 7.30pm For Tickets, Click HERE Johnny’s gorgeous and seemingly effortless vocals have graced the folk-scene since the emergence of Decameron in the early 1970s. An experienced solo performer, accompanying himself on piano and guitar, he is a talented songwriter and a fine interpretative singer. He also presented the Acoustic Music Show on BBC Radio Gloucestershire for over twenty years. Paul Burgess is a longstanding musical collaborator, including regular participation in Johnny’s annual Christmas tour. A classically trained recorder-player and defiantly un-classical violinist, widely considered to be one of the leading exponents of English fiddle playing, he also has a talent for deadpan humour. A magical combination at any time of the year. Songs will include - some from the latest album River of Dreams – and some from Gloucestershire poets such as F W Harvey and Ivor Gurney – alongside material from Johnny’s many albums. “River of Dreams is a fantastic record...it showcases Johnny’s evocative and expressive vocals and the songwriting is simply stunning” – Fatea magazine “Every song is perfectly crafted and beautifully performed, and Johnny’s vocals are exquisite. River of Dreams is, indeed, a joy to behold.” - At The Barrier webzine |
