Accompanied by Benji Kirkpatrick and Alex Hart

West Country folk singer and multi-instrumentalist Seth Lakeman will be accompanied by folk singer and musician Benji Kirkpatrick and Devon singer- songwriter Alex Hart.

Seth Lakeman was catapulted into the music mainstream when he was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize for his album Kitty Jay. 2024 marked the 20th anniversary of the album’s release and the start of an incredible solo journey which has included record deals, 11 album releases (including six Top 40), and a clutch of awards. Widely regarded as the UK’s foremost folk singer-songwriter,

Seth Lakeman takes the established folk orthodoxy and turns it on its head. The spirit of the rock band meets the timeless and heartfelt subject matter of the folk tale in a blur of fiddle, acoustic guitar and foot-stomping rhythms, with Seth’s unmistakable vocals riding the wave.
