I am thrilled to announce that Johnny Coppin is going to make a rare appearance in Cornwall at Lanivet Parish Church!
Just two minutes off the A30 and blessed with an abundance of free parking Lanivet is the perfect gig location!
Johnny’s effortless vocals have graced the folk-scene since the emergence of Decameron in the early 1970s. An experienced solo performer, he is a talented songwriter and a fine interpretative singer.
Johnny has recorded over fourteen albums including The Winding Stair, Borderland, Edge of Day with writer Laurie Lee, his latest album River of Dreams, and he recently celebrated the 40th Anniversary of the release of Forest & Vale & High Blue Hill – his first album of Gloucestershire songs.
Playing guitar and piano, his songs are always melodic and evocative.
For many years Johnny toured as a duo with Phil Beer (Show of Hands). He now works solo, in a duo with Paul Burgess (ex John Kirkpatrick Band), and as a trio for an annual Christmas tour with Paul Burgess and Dik Cadbury (ex Steve Hackett, and Decameron).
“A gifted songwriter”- Daily Telegraph
Johnny has performed at many festivals, and venues large and small and for over twenty years he presented an Acoustic Music programme on BBC Local Radio across the West.
TV appearances have included his own programme ‘Song of Gloucestershire’ for the BBC, ‘Stars in a Dark Night’ for Channel 4, and ‘Between Two Rivers’ for ITV.
I am also thrilled to say that I will be playing a solo set supporting Johnny Coppin on the night, performing some of my best loved songs and showing some of my films too!
