"By the way - it was the Equation that signed with Warner's over 10 years ago. Seth Lakeman as a solo artist signed to EMI. I have never, ever heard anyone have issues with the Equation because of their record label. There were certainly other issues, but that was not one of them. I will not talk about those issues on a public forum, as it would be inappropriate, but it was nothing to do with who they signed with, or when or why."


Yes, I'm fully aware that Seth is a solo artist. Thank you.

You know Ian Anderson. Ian knows Colin Irwin. Colin wrote the entire chapter on Seth, in his book 'In Search of Albion'...in that he states, very, very clearly, that Equation DID suffer because they were seen to have 'sold out' to the big boys.

Kate Rusby backed out of the deal at the last moment and went back to Yorkshire. She was sort of forgiven, but not quite...However, the rest of them, Seth, Sam, Sean, Cara and Kathryn suffered the backlash of The Secret Society of 'We Won't Let You Back In No Matter How Great You Are' members...who deem themselves far better than others...but who, in actual fact, are just a load of boring ol' farts...in my ever so humble opinion.

Probably best to read the book I guess.

I already have it and have read it several times over.
