In this thread I have spoken about the music of Seth Lakeman as it is being presented today in the current musical climate because I can, though I don't have a vast amount of interest in doing so as I consider his contribution to be minimal.

Additionally I have spoken against Mrs Route's mindless, meandering, incessant swirl of bilge because it is so dangerously polluting, does so much harm to the music and people I love and needs to be stopped.

What I regret is the necessity of still having to do either.

>>The UK is desperate for trained dyslexia teachers. Really really desperate. So why not go and get qualified so instead of talking about how much you know on this board, and then you will be able to do something concrete and useful and help the people who have this problem. <<

I know Dave. However, at present and for the next 4 years, I have my own dyslexic child to educate. He was home-educated after his teacher started belittling him and he was severely bullied. This was never dealt with by the school. It rarely is. When my son is beyond the 'clutches' of this now Corporate Education System, at the age of 16, then I'll be free to do other things. Rest assured though that he is in very good hands..and very happy.

>>>does so much harm to the music and people I love and needs to be stopped.<<<

You Diane, I'm afraid, are the one person who has tried to 'damage' Seth's career, and Show of Hands too, above all others. The evidence is all over the BBC boards, in many threads. If you take a dislike to an artist, for whatever reason, you'll stop at nothing in your belittling and criticism of them.

I started off respecting your obvious knowledge of folk music, however, over the years, I have watched you use your knowledge over and over, purely as a weapon to point at others. Teach by all means, but verbal abuse is quite another thing. If you have been given a gift, as you have, for memory, interest and intellect, then you abuse that 'gift' by trying incessantly to silence and humiliate others.

It is one thing for anyone to dislike an artist's music. We're back to brain patterns again with the reasons for that....It is however, quite another to say deeply unpleasant things about artists, as you have done in the past with Seth.

Thankfully, now that you realise there is nothing that will stop Seth and to keep hounding him, as you once did, only makes you look ridiculous, you have quietened down a bit..and it's great to see much support for Seth on this thread.

He deserves nothing less.

Mrs Route doesn't know me, has never met me and has never (to my knowledge) ever assimilated one word of the knowledge (not a gift) nor information (also not a gift) I have ever written about. She is far too self-obsessed ever to have listened. This is the sole form of 'contact' I have ever had with her over the past year or so: mere attempts to counter the bollocks she spouts. What I know was acquired (not given) from clogging lessons with the Ellwoods, violin lessons from the church organist and at school, working at C# then as a journalist.

I've known the work of the Lakepersons (their children, not Joy and Geoff) for the past decade. Even that is approximately 10 years longer than Mrs Route who caught sight of the folk hobbit on YouTube last week. Once they were OK, now they are definitely not though may be making some money. If that's your criteria, they are successful. I'm not actually at all interested in what they do and, other than to point this out once or twice, have scarcely ever passed comment until the albino bunny rabbit hopped along.

Doesn't mean I haven't felt like throwing up at her idiotic, sycophantic fawning over them and those other South-Western crooners. But far more importantly, it's when she threatens the careers and livelihoods of genuine working musicians that her dangerous behaviour has to be curbed. It's malicious. It harms people and genuine music. It cannot continue.

Lizzie, I don't think you can say that Diane has tried to damage Seth's career, or that of Show of Hands. I don't really think she's bothered enough to do that, even if she had the power.

It's funny you two didn't bump into each other all those years ago when you were both watching the Lakeman brothers, before the rest of us had heard of them.

For the record, Lizzie, I've liked Seth Lakeman ever since you recommended 'Kitty Jay' to me all those years ago when I was a nice person.

Firstly I don't think for one second you can criticise anyone else for not reading what someone says, secondly time and time and time and time again you have said that you only discovered folk music a few short years ago so mayhaps you are telling porkies above???
If not Im sure you will be able to state when and where you saw the Lakeman family play and recollect some of the material they played eh Lizzie or perhaps contrast their set with the material Seth is playing now????
I won't hold my breath.
Oh and finally Im actually glad Lizzie Cornish/Albion Lizzie/Elizabeth Cornwallish/Sethettie etc etc is on Mudcat rather than anywhere else, she can do less damage here than on a more public forum such as the BBC's though why she hasnt been banned here as well I dont know.

Yep, one of the things I like about the world of folk music is the above average levels of tolerance, live-and-let-live, the acceptance of alternative lifestyles and viewpoints.

Flower power generation? A handful of thorns more like, intent on spiking each other while the world around them is going to pot. Personal insults, taunts and verbal bullying vie each other for supremacy. Brilliant. Well done, everybody, you have given the best possible impression.

I saw Seth and his brothers at Buckland Monachorum Summer Fair...well actually I didn't strictly 'see' them, because the crowd was so large around them that I couldn't see who it was....and I had my daughter in a pushchair, so it was hard to get near the front...However, someone told me who they were and I was very impressed...But I left it at that...until that day in Sidmouth, when Show of Hands came on stage in The Arena and well...POW!!!!

Oh heck! Don't tell me the Folk Police are in Canada too? How depressing is that then? Or is that more about that Canada would never let this sort of thing happen? The Canadians are such lovely people..We love Canada! :0) :0)

>>>Lizzie, your powers of self-delusion are quite astonishing and astounding<<<<<

Er...'twas a joke m'dear! ;0)


And it's no good you lot throwing things at me..and frothing at the mouth because.....not only have I just put Seth's 'Kitty Jay' Youtube video on my Myspace page...

SETH'S 'KITTY JAY' VIDEO


...BUT....I've also just discovered that ARTISAN have a Myspace page TOO!

How COOL is that then! Oh...wonderful voices...Take a listen!

The Magical A cappella Voices of ARTISAN

And Chris, yes...I remember you saying how much you liked Seth on the BBC board. Shame I'll never get to enthuse anyone ever again though, but then..that's what the Moaning Minnies wanted...Totally beyond me, but such is their outlook I'm afraid.

No - thanks, that is interesting - however, as ever, nothing is as simple as it seems and I think you will find, if you do some research, that in the Georgian period, (late 18th / early C19th comes into this) that they fully accepted that these things would happen. Illegitimate children were commonplace - I've done a lot of family history research and not just me but every single one of the people I have corresponded with have illegitimate children in their tree. It gets to be a stigma in the Victorian period but for Georgians - they understood how things worked.

I know Dave. However, at present and for the next 4 years, I have my own dyslexic child to educate.

Well Mrs Route you will find the qualifications to teach people with dyslexia can be done on a part-time basis and indeed most people who are certificated do it in precisely that way.

So having a full-time job teaching your son is not really an excuse. My wife had a full time job teaching about 25 sons and daughters of other people and still managed it.

In fact you have an advantage because to gain a qualification like the one my wife has you need to be in a position to be able to demonstrate your skills and this usually involves seeking out a pupil to work with. You will not have that difficulty.

Apart from seeing them on YouTube have you ever seen Artisan? I don't remembering them visiting the West Country recently...

>>>Apart from seeing them on YouTube have you ever seen Artisan? I don't remembering them visiting the West Country recently...<<<<



Oh here go again...First of all...it was Myspace...

Nope...I've never seen Artisan. You're dead right there. I discovered them (as in 'heard') though, through Radio Britfolk Dave. Gosh...I wrote REAMS about Britfolk on the BBC board Dave..but where were you????? And all the others, who whinge that no-one takes folk music seriously? Britfolk is a wonderful idea..but oh no...all the Moaning Minnies did was try and get the Britfolk thread closed by whining on about all the 'Radio Threads' I'd started! ????????????

Not ONE person gave them any support....pretty much the same over here too, from what I can see. Jaycee's done many programmes on Britfolk and featured Artisan too...I fell in love with their voices...Sorry if that's a crime in your book. I also love the voices of Coope Boyes & Simpson as well....So hang me now! :0)

>>So having a full-time job teaching your son is not really an excuse.<<

Actually it is. My job for the next four years is ALL about him. Each year I have to prove to those 'who must be obeyed' that I am doing 'my job' satisfactorily..That's the highest accolade any Home Educator is ever given...'satisfactory'....because of course, no way could we ever be given an 'excellent'...Oh dearie me no!...So far, each year, my son and I, together, reach 'satisfactory'...I also have a family to bring up, outside of my 'job'....and that, for the time being is more than enough thank you.

>>In fact you have an advantage because to gain a qualification like the one my wife has you need to be in a position to be able to demonstrate your skills and this usually involves seeking out a pupil to work with. You will not have that difficulty.<<

I certainly won't. My son is not 'a pupil' about whom I will write reams, study, and discuss. He's a young person making his way in life, in his own way. Discovering what he's interested in, freely and with any support I can offer. He's not watched, nor bound by tests or forms or anything else. He is free to learn what he wants, when he wants, how he wants...and learn he does. When children are free, they WANT to learn...because they can then follow their hearts and minds..It is such a simple thing to understand and one the Factory Farm Education System has overlooked for way too long.

I'd be a useless teacher Dave, not because I can't teach, because I can...but because I don't and won't conform to idiotic, controlling 1984 style rules and regulations. That's all part of what is so very wrong with our schools at present. I'd never fill in forms about children or say what I think they're expectations are etc..I'd just want to help and teach them...The red tape, which is crippling the Education System and getting rid of so many excellent teachers is appalling and leaves me utterly cold.

I read the other day, that soon they're going to be testing babies and toddlers too...Lord Help Us All!

However, full marks to both you and your wife for what you are doing. I'm 100% behind excellent, caring 'natural' teachers....and dead against ones that do far more damage than good.

And now...back to Seth.... :0)

Mrs. Route, the idea you spend ALL your time looking after your dyslexic son and your family is just laughable. People may care to count up the time you spend on message boards writing. You seem to be able to reply to any comments you don't like at any time day or night.

Granted you never read anything people have written, nor think about anything you have write, but it all still takes time.

Then there is the time you spend with Sam of course.

I was never a natural teacher. I worked hard at both organisation and academic material; was happy to learn from people around me; people who came to my classes to observe me teach; inspectors and moderators who came to examine my work and the students from whom I learned so much. I was happy to go on courses for professional development and - as you do in my branch of teaching - arrange for marketing of the course; deliver leaflets to ensure recruitment; interview and counsel students to ensure they were choosing the correct course for their chosen career path; and do the thousands of other jobs that are included in the word teaching. Including meeting parents to discuss progress. Natural teacher? I never had time to find out. But of course as someone who can teach (but also admits she is useless as a teacher - not quite got my mind around that) you will know all this.

So you only ever get satisfactory? Has it ever occurred to you this is because your work is only satisfactory? In the world of education that you have chosen to inhabit, it is not regarded as sufficient to assert things. You need evidence. I am happy to hear yours that you are better than satisfactory.

As for Artisan, well - Jacey, Brian and Hilary have been good friends for more years than I care to remember and certainly not long after they started singing almost 22 years ago. What makes you think I don't like them just because you have found out about them? I'll mention it to Jacey when I am round at their house in the next week or so. I am sure they will be delighted to know they have your support.

Er...no...I said I'd be useless as a teacher within 'The System' because I don't do 'The System' Dave, please read what I said and don't spin. Good try though! :0)

>>>So you only ever get satisfactory? Has it ever occurred to you this is because your work is only satisfactory?

Er...no...I said that the highest mark ANY Home Educator can EVER be awarded by the Corporate Education System is SATISFACTORY. This is probably due to the bitter minds within said system who cannot bear to think that Home Educators do a bloody excellent job and have kids who aren't spaced out, or who've given up on learning, but are kind, sociable, intelligent, good mannered and interesting...as are many kids who also attend school I hasten to add, but sadly...many are not these days. However, we have always been awarded the highest mark that it is possible to have from the Bitter, Controlling Education System. This is mainly down to my children themselves of course, and the fact that they love to learn.

>>>In the world of education that you have chosen to inhabit, it is not regarded as sufficient to assert things.

Nope...I didn't chose to 'inhabit' this world...I pulled myself apart over it m'dear. But then I realised that it was either going down this road or a black hole opening up for my kids, because of what was happening to them and what is happening to so many other children too.
Faced with that realisation, the decision is made for you. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, mainly because I too had been brainwashed into believing that 'school' was all and without school my kids would more than likely fall of the edge of the world. But despite that feeling I went to the edge of the world with them...and guess what Dave...We didn't fall off! Not only that...we stayed on...and we began to discover what 'learning and life' are truly about and it ain't about school! (purely in our opinion of course)

You need evidence. I am happy to hear yours that you are better than satisfactory.<<<

It's not just mine Dave, our EWO fair steams that he's not permitted to say anything other than 'satisfactory' on our report! Our EWO is a wonderful, brilliant, compassionate and lovely man. He deals with so many kids who've fallen out of the system for one reason or another. He's determined to help them, even though some of them don't want to be helped. He makes my kids feel like a million dollars with his uplifting, kind and supportive attitude. He says it's one of the main reasons he does this job. Because he knows there is NOTHING else that he can give us to help....other than enthusiasm. He's not 'allowed' to you see....

He is a 'natural' teacher. One who loves children, who adores learning. He's the most interesting man and always stays for tea and biccies and a jolly good natter, when he comes. He's always welcome and he always enjoys coming round and talking to my kids. We're very blessed to have someone so wonderful.

>>>As for Artisan, well - Jacey, Brian and Hilary have been good friends for more years than I care to remember and certainly not long after they started singing almost 22 years ago.

Lovely! :0)


>>>What makes you think I don't like them just because you have found out about them?

Where did I say that? I merely said that if it got up your nose that I like them...tough! You don't 'own' the rights to liking their music do you?

>>>I'll mention it to Jacey when I am round at their house in the next week or so. I am sure they will be delighted to know they have your support.

Lovely! The more people who love artists music, the better I always find and it's always uplifting to be told that someone likes your music isn't it! :0)


Honestly Dave...anyone would think you don't like me... :0) :0) :0)



Oh..and Effsee please feel free to put on any Kitty Jay link that you like..that's what this thread is here for...to talk about Seth...or at least it was....

Here, try this one...this is one Sam told me about:

Mrs. Route,

It is not the I don't like you I have never met you. How could I not like you?

I don't like the fact you write repetitive nonsense.

I don't like the fact that you seem to think you are the only person who has any worthwhile ideas about folk music.

I don't like the fact that you upset so many people with your arrogant nonsense.

I don't like the fact that you recommend a website to people that is more or less totally plagiarised.

But most of all I don't like the fact that you promised to stop writing to this message board and continue to do so.

And LOOK!!!

Seth Lakeman LIVE at Exeter Uni..on the very same day that we saw him and I wrote my review above! Sound isn't brilliant mind...but at least you can feel the atmosphere there....

Hey Dave..I'm in there somewhere, stomping, cheering AND...WIGGLING too! ;0)

Mrs. Route - I haven't clicked on your link.

But first of all convince me that Seth knew it was being recorded and that whoever did so had HIS permission to both do so and publish it.

Otherwise it would be illegal. Shouldn't you be educating your son?

But then...I'm a very bad girl Dave, as well you apparently think...for I ruin artist's careers by daring to peek at Youtube videos...

You can't send me to The Tower, for I'm already there...

And hey..did YOU ask permission to put my real name on here Dave?

Another slice of Holier Than Thou Hypocrite Pie m'deario?

When Google acquired YouTube late last year they undertook to remove any illegally shot footage where an artist's rights have been flouted. There is a form on the YouTube site for submitting details of breaches of copyright and of piracy.

Can't imagine the Lakeperson management being thrilled at this being uploaded. The sound is so bad that every word is unintelligible, though this is not helped by very poor diction.

First of all making references to real names was your speciality.

But I wanted to talk to you about Artisan.

I told Jacey you had become a fan. You'll never guess what - they have disbanded!!!!!!!

There are 112 videos if you do a search for "Seth Lakeman" on YouTube.

I think the YouTube complaining system requires the complainer to be the actual copyright owner and say they are. It obviously does work to some degree because you occasionally find the message that content has been removed because of a complaint. Normally you see that happen mainly on TV footage. There were a whole load of clips of The Brits that got taken off when ITV or the BPI complained. The BBC also seem to have had a bit of a purge recently. The infamous Jonathan Ross interview with David Cameron has dissapeared, along with several other things that had ben there for ages. I guess that is probably all part of the BBC now having an official deal to provide YouTube with official content.

Yes, the sound quality on many mobile phone originated clips is downright diabolical!

Nah...you'll have to do better than that Dave! Artisan disbanded ages ago! Even I knew that!!

Still great to hear their music though.

Come on...type faster...you're getting left behind! Chuckle!

I don't use real names unless others have first put them down themselves by the way....

Hi Scrump,

Do you think that you could see your way clear to calling me 'vicious' and 'depraved'? You see I'm really getting into this being 'evil' business and am thinking of taking it up as a career - I think that the above two words might look quite good on my CV.
I'm already thinking ahead to my new post and am planning something very, very wicked - like criticising someone's taste in music - AAAAHHHHAAAAHHHAAAAHA!!!!!!!! (that's a maniacally evil laugh, by the way - must work on that).

That can be remedied

Speak of Seth Lakeman!
'Zounds, I will speak of him; and let my soul
Want mercy, if I do not join with him:
Yea, on his part I'll empty all these veins,
And shed my dear blood drop by drop in the dust,
But I will lift the down-trod Seth lakeman
As high in the air as this unthankful hare,
As this ingrate and canker'd white bunny.
