What annoys me is that somebody got hold of a family photograph. The story is almost entirely fiction. Our last name is Copper, not Cooper.

For at least seven generations, the Copper family of Rottingdean in Sussex have been custodians of English folk culture, and they have preserved a rare southern-English style of harmony singing. In the process, they became folk-scene celebrities - thanks largely to the work of Bob Copper, who compiled their repertoire of songs. The latest family band, Young Coppers, consists of six of his grandchildren. For their debut album, they stick to the old traditions, mixing solo unaccompanied singing with sturdy harmony work.

Copper is a chemical element with the symbol Cu (from Latin: cuprum) and atomic number 29. It is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. A freshly exposed surface of pure copper has a pinkish-orange color.
