Fraser-Coope

The Fraser Sisters, Jo Freya and Fi Fraser, were once described as “better than a bus,” when a print run removed the rest of the sentence “load of musicians.” A fitting description, as they are multi-instrumentalists and singers with a history of performing that spans the best part of 50 years.

They are joined by Katy Coope, niece and daughter respectively. Katy has sung all her life at family events and for many years early on with Shooting Roots and still with Stream of Sound. She currently also performs in an a cappella trio called Arbrevyn, singing songs from Cornwall, Derbyshire, and around the UK. Her co-collaborators are Cathy Bennett and Callum MacKellar. They are currently working on their first album.

This family unit have collected and interpreted music from the UK and beyond in a way that only siblings and relatives can. The music is diverse and captivating, often delivered in what appears to be, a deceptively easy way, e.g., a cappella, accompanied, driving tunes… but frankly they are worth seeing for the banter alone. Expect great music with tales of their experiences as musicians, sisters, daughter/niece and from far and wide.

You will have seen then individually or collectively with Blowzabella, Narthen, Polkaworks, Sir Michael Morpurgo, Old Swan Band and more and Jo is now the Artistic director of the National Youth Folk Ensemble. Katy can be seen with Stream of Sound and Arbrevyn.
