The Kipper Family – Folk Singers (as far as we know) probably the greatest Norfolk export.

The Final Fillet
Sid Kipper – “Wit, Wisdom & Walnuts”
Sid retired to spend more time with his ferrets. His original website once could be found at sidkipper.co.uk. There was some strange bloke called Chris Sugden running it, where there was a huge amount of Sid Kipper. It then moved to www.spineless.idps.co.uk. Unfortunately it then vanished along with Sid, along with all the silver. But! You can see the old site at Web Archive (snapshot 01/Sept/2014)
Note: quite a lot has been imported (cut and pasted) to this website more info
Chris Sugden aka Sid Kipper died 3rd April 2024 wikipedia – EDP24 – JustRegional

Fresh Yesterday
The best Kipper Family experience
Recorded at the Trunch village hall. Sid and Henry in full kipper flow. Witness the comic talent of the duo as they tell some of their old stories and sing some of their old songs. You may recognise the tunes, but the words will bring a new dimension to folk singing!
The Kipper Family website
This website is by a fan for the fans. It exists in order to collect together all it can of the Kippers that can be found. It continues to expand as items are recovered, found, or sent in by fans. It will continue to exist while there is still demand for the memory of their talent. Why is Sid Kipper included? You ask. Surely the “family” includes Sid Kipper too? Even if the act was “The Kipper Family”, after that Sid went his own way as the son of Kipper. Therefore, the family includes Sid Kipper.
Best fishes!
