Some of Seth Lakeman's fans seem to be very angry all the time. Shouldn't they they be a bit pleased he's doing well?
Why this subject generates such heat I have never managed to grasp. Surely we don't need to accuse people of hating youth, just because they aren't Seth Lakeman fans? I am sure someone could say "I don't like Amy Winehouse" or"The Young Tradition leave me cold" without the wrath of God, Mudcat and Colin Irwin descending on them. So what is it about Seth Lakeman fans that they always carry cudgels? Personally, I am an immense fan of These United States, but if I meet someone who doesn't like them I don't accuse them of having Aran sweaters, pot bellies, beards and tankards. I just say "have a listen, you might be surprised".
