Johnny Coppin – ‘All on a Winter’s Night’ In a year that marks his 50th anniversary as a singer-songwriter, Johnny Coppin presents his ever-popular Christmas show. This annual concert continues to delight audiences young and old, year on year with a feast of traditional carols and new songs, together with stories and images by award-winning photographer Martin Fry. Johnny is joined on stage by  Paul Burgess  (Old Swan Band, ex-John Kirkpatrick Band) on fiddle, recorders, stories,  Dik Cadbury  (ex-Steve Hackett, Decameron) on guitars and vocals,  Geoff March  (ex-Decameron) on cello and vocals,  Mick Candler  (Julie July Band, Kevin Brown) on drums, and  Duncan Kingston  (Matt Owens, Kevin Brown) on bass. This is the only date on the All on a Winter’s Night tour that includes the full line-up. Expect a dash of well-written lyrics, wonderful tunes, and some marvellous musicality – all seasoned with festive memories, and timeless country customs. There’ll be songs from the latest album release ‘Midwinter – Live in Concert’, as well as much loved material from his four other Christmas albums: ‘A Country Christmas’, ‘Keep The Flame’, ‘West Country Christmas’ and ‘All on a Winter’s Night’. A sumptuous evening of new songs, and old favourites with original and traditional songs and tunes from Britain and beyond. ”Beautiful and inspirational – a seasonal delight ….I can think of none to surpass the lyrical beauty of Johnny’s voice.”-  Living Tradition “A gifted songwriter”-  Daily Telegraph “Unquestionably at the top of his game” –  Acoustic magazine
