Another great entry 
Found one spelling mistake, 'national' you typed 'natonal'. Listening to the Radio 2 folk awards the other evening, I thought they said that The Copper Family one last years life-time achievement award. I could be wrong though.

Thanks, Deackie!
I've amended the typo you found and another that I found!
I had two sources for the award. I've amended it to Lifetime Achievement. My second source said that and I'm sure it's correct.

Hi, !
This is an excellent entry. It covers the topic nicely, without overloading us. I think it could go into the Edited Guide just as it is. The only thing I would consider changing is the title - I think it would be worth having some mention of folksong there. 'A singing tradition' , maybe? Or 'A tradition in folk song'? Or 'The Copper Family - Traditional singers'?
As it stands, the first mention of music is after the introduction, so a mention in the title would help.
I'm glad to get these comments in in time - your last couple of entries got recommended before I got around to commenting. (But since the commments would have basically been 'Great Entry', I didn't mind!)

It was me! Sorry for not point this out sooner but I have been very busy, stealing pianos and hence encouraging the practice of unaccompanied singing!
Anyway, well done: it's now been accepted.
