Seth Lakeman plays at the University – Main Hall tomorrow night. There are still a few tickets left but you need to hurry. If you want to see him play live. He is a 'must-see' live act. Brought up in a musical family in Plymouth, Seth grew up surrounded by music. His songs are beautiful and inspiring.
Buy your tickets online at upsu and collect them at the door.
Seth first became known when he played as part of the Lakeman Brothers. Then, with Kate Rusby and Kathryn Roberts, he formed folk band Equation. Cara Dillon later replaced Kate Rusby.
In 2001, Seth began playing as part of Cara Dillon's band. I remember first seeing them as part of the BBC Glastonbury coverage, where they did a fantastic cover of "Black is the Colour".
Since then Seth has released two solo albums – the Punchbowl, and Kitty Jay. The latter has been nominated for the 2005 Mercury Music awards. It's a haunting blend of folk music, true stories and legends, inspired by Dartmoor where Seth Lakeman grew up. It's an amazing album to listen to. Highly recommended.
