SETH LAKEMAN
Folk-inspired, multi-award winning singer/songwriter, Seth Lakeman, undertaking a 14 date tour of the UK followed by the nationwide release of his latest album ‘Tales From the Barrel House’ to meet demand after the original limited edition sold out before Christmas.
Recording one of the tracks for his new album down a disused West Country copper mine, singer and virtuoso fiddler, Seth Lakeman, could literally not have dug deeper into his roots for ‘Tales from the Barrel House’ his 6th album. Not only did he write the entire album, he also plays all the instruments and produced and mixed it too.
Seth says he has enjoyed this solo recording project like few others. It marks a return to the parred down sounds reminiscent of ‘Kitty Jay’, the Mercury Prize nominated album which first shot him into the public eye.
In keeping with this independent spirit, ‘Tales from the Barrel House’ was initially released as a limited run in November 2011 and was made available to fans exclusively via Seth's own website www.sethlakeman.co.uk. However, on the first day of sale, the album proved so popular that the website crashed and by Christmas, the cd had completely sold out. Many fans ended up missing out on the original release and so to meet demand ‘Tales from the Barrel House’ is now set for national release on 02 April.
Seth's reputation as a recording artist is matched by the regard in which he's held as a live performer. His foot-stomping, charismatic and energetic shows have taken him around the globe. At the invitation of the organisers, Seth will be performing at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards on the 08 February in Salford and he then returns to the area on 23rd February to kick off a 14 date tour starting in Manchester. The tour includes an extra special collaboration with the BBC Concert Orchestra at Plymouth Pavilions* on 3rd March 2012.
