SINGER-songwriter Johnny Coppin will be performing songs from his new Christmas album All On A Winter's Night in Stroud and Cheltenham in December as part of his Christmas tour.

Johnny, who lives in Gloucestershire,began his career as one of the founder members of the folk band Decameron. As a solo artist he has gone on to record over 12 albums and has performed at many festivals, concert halls, and venues large and small.

All On A Winter's Night includes original songs, such as the title track, evoking the magic of the run-up to Christmas, and Snow In The Street, a setting of a William Morris poem; classic English carols like God Rest You Gentlemen, and In The Bleak Midwinter.

He will be performing as trio for the Christmas tour with Paul Burgess (ex John Kirkpatrick Band) and Dik Cadbury (ex Steve Hackett, and Decameron).
