I went to see Seth live in Manchester on friday just gone. He isn't main stream but what a talented musician he is, folk music with a rockier edge at it's very best.
In praise of Seth Lakeman.

I don't think he ever stops gigging! Electrifying live performer.

Excellent artist, well worth travelling to see. I love his 'Tales from the Barrel House ' album.
His brother Sean produced the Levellers last album too.

I'm at adds with the praise voiced here. I found Lakeman to be tedious and robotic when I saw him perform at the O2 Academyat Leeds two or three years ago. After the sixth number, all subsequent tunes performed appeared to be permutations of the first half dozen.
I was seriously underwhelmed by the gig.
He partially redeemed himself at Solfest the same year but my judgement was impaired by a variety of intoxicants and I'm unwilling to say that he was much better than OK.

Having enjoyed last years gig I went to watch Seth again last night. This time it was in a field in Middlewich, he was the headline act in a music festival. The audience only numbered about 300 and was more bohemian. It wasn't Glastonbury but what a fantastic atmosphere and performance.
