Lester Simpson
Lester Simpson is an English folk singer and radio presenter on BBC Local Radio in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. He features in the three-piece folk group Coope, Boyes and Simpson, and on the Folkwaves radio program with Mick Peat.
The Belper Folk Club was a favourite with Lester in the early to mid 1970s. As a "floor singer" at this venue, he learned skills which he later developed with his fellows in Coope, Boyes and Simpson.
