KeithofChester Sidmouth - was it good for you? (229* d) RE: Sidmouth - was it good for you? 16 Aug 07


Where was Seth Lakeman?

From what I read elsewhere Seth was gaining a rather large number of new admirers at Edmonton Folk Festival (that is the Edmonton in Alberta). Seth did actually interrupt a Canadian tour earlier this year and dash back to London for the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, then flew straight back to resume his Canadian shows. I suspect that experience has cured him of trying to play on more than one continent simultaneously.

He is at Falmouth today, both V Festival Sites (Chelmsford and Stafford) this weekend, then Tonder (Denmark) and then Towersey later this month, so he isn't exactly under-gigged.

Seth has got Teddy Thompson with him as support for most of his Autumn tour, which should make it pretty good value.

Seth also did a "launch gig" for his new Poor Man's Heaven album in Regents Park two weeks back. Now, I assume that has a release date just before the Autumn tour starts (since they have the same name), but no where can I find the official date for that. Still, it should be easier for the folk awards panel this year, since they won't have to worry which of two different versions of a Seth album actually they are voting for as "best album". That so bewildered last year's panel that the BBC still can't tell us which version of Freedom Fields actually won "best album" in 2006...
