DECAMERON
Decameron began when Johnny Coppin and Dave Bell met at Cheltenham Art College in 1968. By 1969 they had been joined by guitarist Al Fenn and cellist Geoff March and, with Jasper Carrott as their agent, the four of them started building up a solid following around the folk clubs.

They soon developed their trademark sound - vocal harmonies reminiscent of Crosby, Stills and Nash, multi-instrumental virtuosity, with Dave's poetic lyrics set to Johnny’s melodic tunes.
By 1973 Decameron’s first album "Say Hello to the Band" had been released,Office 2007 Standard Key, they were appearing at bigger UK venues, touring in Holland, Germany and Belgium,Office Home And Student 2010, playing bigger venues in the UK including the Cambridge Folk Festival, and Dik Cadbury had joined on bass, guitar and violin.

1974 saw the release of "Mammoth Special", regarded by several as their finest hour, and a promotional gig in the Commonwealth Institute in London with an orchestra. A year later “Third Light” came out and the band were playing to houses of up to 1,Office Professional 2010 Key,500 people a night. They had become one from the best live bands on the scene.

In 1976, the band’s fourth album "Tomorrow’s Pantomine" emerged,Office Home And Student 2010, with Dik Cadbury’s influence taking Decameron in a more rocky direction. However this highlighted the differing objectives among band members and within months Decameron decided to call it a day. Although they were earning a living, the costs of touring a six-piece band in bigger venues were prohibitive.

The various members got involved in other musical projects and Johnny Coppin launched a successful solo career as a singer/songwriter which continues to this day.
