Seth Lakeman and band on the Bellstone stage on Sunday night at Shrewsbury Folk Festival 2017. Next festival: August 24 - 27 2018. Find out more at www.shrewsburyfolkfestival.co.uk
My five year son plays the violin because he wanted to be like Seth Lakeman. He is doing really well and listens to Seth each and every day. Great music
As a Cornishman born and bred in Newlyn, hearing talk about the soloman Browne fills me with pride and sadness, I know family’s still affected by the tragedy and see my dad and brother go off to fish each week. Thank you for writing this, i listen to it time and time again and Get tingles.
Being there live when he does Kitty Jay is an experience. The floor drum sends a wave of bass through your entire body. Best video that gives you that effect I've watched.
Glen Chun - agreed - saw him at Sidmouth doing more or less the same set as this with the same line up - absolutely stunning performance from all four - looking forward to seeing them next month (at Sidmouth again) - can't wait.
Saw Seth same year at Sidmouth - this brings back great memories of that night - one of the best live gigs ever - and that includes the great Richard Thompson!!!
love his music, i remember hearing him way back with the the white hare song, must be 20 years ago? watching him and his fine band enjoying each others musicianship and just having fun is very infectious, must see them one day, thanks for the upload, i watch it about once every month or so to remind me of a real musician practicing his craft, cheers
Fabulous! Thank you to everyone involved in bringing this to my ears! Super duper and let us all look forward to when we can get together again and enjoy live music again. It will happen we just have to hold on just a little longer xx
My favourite gigging musician in the world at present! I just wish he'd play for a bit longer. He has such a great back catalogue. Also, I'd like to see him 'open up' a few more songs when he plays them live. For instance, 'How Much' is a nice ittle 2-minute song on 'Tne Punch Bowl' but live he opened it up to four-and-a-half minutes and made it a fantastic live number. I'd like to see him do this with a few more songs. I think he needs to do about a two-hour show to do justice to his catalogue. I'd be happy to pay a bit more to see a two-hour Seth & band show. I've seen him play in The Forum in Bath, at Lusty Glaze in Newquay and at the Minack at Porthcurno and each time they were very fine shows but I thought they were just over too quickly. In my teens I saw B.B. King, who was an old man, play for three hours and he would have kept playing except the town hall people turned the lights back on. B.B. set the marker for me of what a great show is like - this old black dude from the Mississippi delta had a couple of thousand white kids mesmerised by his sheer presence, his playing, his singing and his all-round magnificence. And B.B. was a gigging musician; he was playing a couple hundred gigs a year, but still did a lot more than Seth's 80 minutes.
I was dancing to this...hed have to be a superman to play anymore..such energy..if you have a bigger band so that he'd be able to rest for one piece maybe??
Not too bothered about Seth, but his drummer is awesome! Multi-faceted and the foundation of the overall sound. Inventive and just puts the right amount of different percussion sounds where its needed. A big talent.
Unbelievably I have only just discovered Seth. Genre of music I have really only started I love Seth's vocals, very haunting at times and a wonderful musician... Plus he's darn sexy to boot.

My ears still haven’t recovered three years on from his damned over hyped stomp box. And by that time we were almost a mile away. Why does he ruin his sets with the terrible sound amplification?
