Is anyone else into Seth Lakeman?

Yeah............. I know, I know I did the who likes the best Queen Album. Freddie was a fine figure of a man, a great loss and not to mention his fantastic lyrics. Is anyone into Seth Lakeman? I love it. Great lyrics, expert instrumentals. Good alround egg. Very atmospheric fom the South west. :You_Rock_ Listening right now. ;)

Seth's a Devon boy:cool:
Seen him a few times, worth the money to get to see him live. He's got a tour coming up soon, so get a ticket you won't be disappointed!
I'm on holiday when he's in Exeter on 7th December.:(



Another local Folk band worth a look or listen is Show of Hands. They're passionate about the death of the countryside, village life, mining, fishing......... I'm seeing them on 3rd of December;)
They sell out The Albert Hall every couple of years, win folk awards and live 7 mile away!:lmao:

Oh the ignorent................ No Shewie Sir,. Mr Roger Whittaker is a fine Englishman. Very fine English voice.............as has Mr Seth Lakeman....albeit slightly different tones.
Good for you mate to have been to Glasters. I've been there too, and taught some stuff in the old green fields. Great times. :rolleyes:

Eastwards!
Seth is no 1 according to my children but don't forget Roger Wilson too!

He does not play big gigs anymore so is virtually impossible to hear live now which is a shame.

Swyn.

Oh the ignorent................ No Shewie Sir,. Mr Roger Whittaker is a fine Englishman.

No he isn't, well not quite. Roger Whittaker was born and brought up in Kenya, of English parents from Staffordshire. You can hear the Africaan in his voice.

Worked with him for a few nights many years ago when I was a cabaret club DJ. He would have new silk shirt every night (earning more beck then) One of the cleaning ladies ironed them for him and he gave the shirt to her then next day!

Saw Seth at Womad 07 and Show of Hands at 08 both very good.

Caught some other stuff you might like there and at Cambridge 09

You've probably already heard the Imagined Village and Bellowhead but the latest albums from Jon Boden and Lau are well worth checking out.

I love Show of Hands, and have failed quite spectacularly to see them live. They played Southport Folk Fest earlier this year, and I found out about the gig the morning after :( I was even more peeved when I found that one of my friends went and said it was a belter.

I've been learning 'Man in Green' on the fiddle. What I wouldn't give for a music session or fiddle workshop led by Phil Beer :)
