Seth Lakeman gig at Cheltenham Town Hall, Sep 28 '07.Great times. Great memories. A must see LIVE!On stage, intense & COMPELLING. Never was such a furious sound kicked up by an 'unplugged' QUARTET of fiddle, acoustic guitar, bodhrán, cojon (the percussive box used in flamenco) and double bass.Seth delivered a RHYTHMIC, contemporary sound and VIVID lyrical imagery, FUSING the energetic PERFORMANCE ethic of punk or rock with the heartfelt emotion of blues and soul."I suppose the music I make is folk-influenced -- because that's what I grew up with. However, I like to think that my music crosses BARRIERS and genres - that's the whole point of what I do."Seth Lakeman was born in 1977, the year of punk rock and the Queen's silver jubilee, on a quiet corner of Devon's gloriously wild Dartmoor. It's still the place that he calls home, and the place whose peculiarly English tales of dark deeds and doomed romances provide INSPIRATION for much of his music.(Personal slideshow from Seth Cheltenham gig):http://www.flickr.com/photos/deganta/sets/72157602241750608/show/
