![coppers.jpg (14059 bytes)](../images/ForPages/coppers.jpg) |
![txt-coppers.gif (1707 bytes)](../images/ForPages/txt-coppers.gif)
The Founders of the Feast. Seven generations of vocal tradition ringing true through
three centuries. The Coppers maintain that "It's the Songs, not the
Singer..." that keep traditional music alive. We agree up to a point. The
songs would certainly still be sung in Rottingdean, but probably not in Berkeley and
Brisbane without the Coppers' to sing them first out into a wider world. |

![txt-Plough.gif (1909 bytes)](../images/ForPages/txt-Plough.gif)
Our 'Local'. East Bay standby for Traditional Music, particularly Irish/Celtic.
Shay Black's amiable and lively sessions every Sunday night (8 pm) are a mainstay
for performers and public alike in the Bay Area; and on Monday night: Irish Dance lessons!
They don't currently have a web-site of their own, so the link provided is to their
entry on another resource. |
