Seth Lakeman is one of my favourite singer/songwriters at the moment. I've liked him for a few years now. I first heard of him when there was a report on the news about the Mercury Music Prize, in which they were profiling the nominees. Seth was one of them, for his album "Kitty Jay". I really loved the title song that they played, so I went out and bought his album.
I think the thing I like most about Seth Lakeman's songs is that the majority of them are based on myths and stories from near Dartmoor, Devon, which is where he lives. A few of his songs (mainly those from the album "Freedom Fields") are about battles and the First English Civil War. I think this makes Seth Lakeman a wonderful artist and gives you something that little bit different to listen to.
Here's one of my favourite songs of his, "The White Hare". The album version doesn't have as many drums in it.
