The Copper Family are a family of singers of traditional, unaccompanied English folk song. Originally from Rottingdean, near Brighton, Sussex, England, the nucleus of the family now live in the neighbouring village of Peacehaven. The family first came to the attention of folklorists in the late nineteenth century and received wider attention during the folk revival of the 1960s. Unlike many traditional singers, the family wrote down their own songs. Their unusual singing style has been passed down through several generations along with their huge repertoire of local songs.
