Seth Lakeman announces Plymouth date
Westcountry folk singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Seth Lakeman announces a 5-date seated tour with his band in December including a hometown show at Plymouth Pavilions on Saturday 19 December.
Seth has successfully steered English folk into the mainstream with high-energy performances and a series of best-selling albums including his current album WORD OF MOUTH which entered the charts at No.20 on release in February 2014 to rave reviews ‘his finest in years’ (Evening Standard).
Word Of Mouth is a defining album for Seth Lakeman and features the stories of the real local West Country people who inspired the album. His previous albums include Mercury-nominated ‘Kitty Jay’ and the gold-selling ‘Freedom Fields’ (2006) which features the song, ’King & Country’.
Highlights in 2014, alongside a raft of sold out shows and festival appearances around the UK and Europe, include a special performance of ‘King & Country' in June with the BBC Concert Orchestra as part of the BBC Radio 2's D-Day commemorative Concert at the Royal Albert Hall, a Christmas Day TV appearance where Seth was a guest performer on Tim Rice A Life in Song - a celebration of one of our greatest musical lyricists and being asked to present a two hour BBC Radio 2 Folk special.
