Coppin and Al Fenn had a band that was emulating the best of 60s folk rock at the time - names such as the BAND, FAIRPORT CONVENTION and CROSBY STILLS NASH and YOUNG. But Coppin and Bell together became a formidable writing and singing duo and the group stuck mostly to originals from then on.Going professional in 1971, Decameron released their debut Say Hello to the Band on Vertigo in 1973.
