Why does this Google ad come up at the foot of almost every thread I open, with no apparent relevance to the thread content?

It's a conspiracy.

It's because they can't sell it.

He's always saying Dartmoor's his home but now he wants to escape. Don't free the Lakeperson is what I say. Keep him locked up.

I bought his CD , Freedom Fields, for £3.99 at Trago Mills in Liskeard 5 days ago.
I can assume that he is now released into the community.
Keeping company with the beast of Bodmin I suppose.

P.S. I wonder how much he gets out of £3.99 ?

Seth Lakeman is SO getting to you all isn't he!!!

It's truly magnificent!!

He even made it on to Radio One the other day as well...He's all over the place, everywhere you look, every magazine cover...and according the BBC boards, he's just been signed up by EMI....

Rock On Seth!!

Oh...and over on my Myspace page, someone contacted me to say that they heard Seth's music playing on there the other day (I change it often)...and she was so impressed she downloaded all three of his CDs from iTunes and sent his site on to some more of her friends in the USA!

And here is that very message:

Body: Thanks for being here. I sometimes just click on friends and listen to the music. I just bought all three Seth Lakeman CDs from iTunes. As soon as they finish DLing, I will take them outside with me. (It's a three day weekend in the US.)

I also shared his myspace URL with two musician friends.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know that your site is doing its part in getting good musicians heard.<<<<<<



YAY!! You just can't keep a good man down can you guys!

Lizzie you ought to know by now gushing and overdoing the hype about your personal favourites has a proportionate adverse effect.

Who is he and how dare he sing my genre of music without permission. We only want talent doing our stuff, NOT MINDLESS D RATED FAILURES.

Hi Liz does the above annoy you as much as your post annoyed me? Funny old thing this having stuff rammed down ones throat (and occasionally in capitals).

I have never heard poor Seth and will now actively fight to keep him out of my hearing. Does he know the effect you may be having?

Maybe the Google ad means Free Seth Lakeman music from the obsessions of some of his fans...

I mean to say, what parent in their right mind would call their child Seth? Middle class parents with literary pretentions who once read Cold Comfort Farm maybe?

It's a shame that this thread has degenerated into a Seth Lakeman-bashing, because of a few messages from one of his fans. I've seen him live and he's pretty good, so please don't let any prejudice caused by the aforesaid messages stop you listening to him with an open mind. Just my 5p's worth. Hope I'm not going to regret this posting, don't wanna get into a slanging match on Mudcat, I like to keep things friendly.

Flamenco ted you should have said ' hands up if you know anything about a smashing duo I've just discovered called Show of Hands '

Yes. I have heard about them.

There was the graffito which said 'Free Nelson Mandela', to which another hand had added, 'No thanks I've already got one'

Maybe Mr Lakeperson is incarcerated, and is desiring succour?

Just this week, someone who was quite proud of being asked to do the sound for an up-coming local Seth Lakeman gig but being totally unaware that any form of name-dropping was totally lost on my wife - informed her of this.

She made all the right responses and then came home and asked me who this Seth Lakeman was and if I had heard of him........

Oh do give it a rest chaps!

I have had all this slung at me for years and years and years!!! If I've put you off, Spot...EXCELLENT!

Because we don't want twits liking Seth Lakeman anyway!!

I'm in a GGGRRRRRRRRRR mood at present, with one thing and another and I also remember Spotty from all the Siddy threads! He was fair rabid in those days too! Sheesh Spotty! You're enough to put ME off the canine world!! Except that unlike you....I have the intelligence and the wit to judge things for myself.

AND.....as my family and I (heck...gone a bit Liz 11nd there)....have been watching Seth for many years and have now gone from having acres of space on the gig floor, to being packed in like sardines and surrounded by throngs of youngsters.....I truly don't think that Seth Lakeman is going to be asked to cancel gigs because Spot from Splot isn't coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And WHO was the lovely Rainy person who mentioned Show of Hands? ;0).....This thread DOES have people in who know about great music after all!!!!!

YAY!!

Haul Away Boys!!!!!

Oh.....and.....Raspberries to the BBC!!!

Lizzie Cornish writes: 'I have the intelligence and the wit to judge things for myself'.

Why then can she not see the damage she is creating and the embarrassment she is causing to performers unfortunate enough to have come under her kiss-of-death scrutiny? Small wonder that those who haven't yet come across her victims have no inclination even to find out about their music.

If LC is referring to the post by Guest 12.54 and is assuming it was me, she's wrong. Though it could have been as it echoes my thoughts exactly. Which will proabably ensure that she takes no notice whatsoever. Her loss.

Perhaps showing and encouraging negative judgement presents us with more problems than just showing and encouraging positive enthusiasm?
