Seth Lakeman Cambridge Folk Festival BBC

[Mewfassa]

Always excpetional! x Can't wait to see him.

[SuperAlexander1001]

He is amazing, Newton Faulkner and him should get together.............

[Sarricel]

@SuperAlexander1001 What an excellent idea - imagine the music they'd produce!

[TheChihirosen]

I was there!  Amazing :-)

[SuperAlexander1001]

See you in Greenwich next week Seth x

[Feyfolk]

I saw him last November!!!!! He is truly amazing live! Really good gig!

Love him

[bertwindon]

It seems he's trying to say something, but I can't make out what. A latter day Dylan ?

Talking ain't possibble while playing a tune in my experience. Maybe he's a "don't smoke coz we told u so and yool only regret it" campaign ? Power to his elbow - if he needs any judging by the state that the bow ends-up in most of his now famous performances !

[GroucuttandHaynes]

Seth... You Rock.. We bow down to you!!

groucuttandhaynes . com will endever to live up to your standards.. Hope to support you soon!!

[FodderUk]

apparently these dead eyes can still cry

[meiklefielder]

just seen him for first time at Belladrum, What a finale!!! I love him. Fabulous band !!

[xxxanniexxxgrahamxxx]

omg he did an amazing set that year :) i hope he decides to come back to cambridge!!! x

[HondaCrDrummer]

He's truly amazing!!

[Gongga555]

He's pretty good, i like his music. I wish that we had more folk music here in Holland.

[Katherrrs]

I think he is well good, omg i wish i had gone to cambridge the year after then i would have seen him :( lol how can he play that good and sing at the same time?

[GeeBeehamilton]

kathers i just dont no thats the answer

do u have the cd ?

xxxxxxxx

[PATTONIAC]

Why the føck is'nt the: 'Who's gonna help brother get further' video avaiable in Norway???

[45ounce]

I love this performance. Remember seeing it on BBC4 a couple of years back on a cold winters night with a glass of wine. Excellent!

[HippyJohnWales]

Is that Connor from Uiscedwr on the Bodran?

[irishgem92]

he is amazing

i've been playing the violin for nearly 10 years and i'd never be able to play and stamp my foot AND sing all at the same time!!

and he's pretty gorgeous too

[tikkih]

In the words of my innocent little sister, "he must have a really muscly right arm" :D

Wish I oculd play violin like that!

[jaberwocky24]

This guy is awesome! I have only just discovered him and can't get enough. I am going to see him at Arundel Castle with the Levellers on 22nd August. He will have a brilliant career without doubt!

[brickballoon]

awesome fiddle player

[jbirdreturns]

I saw him last night at 'Folk by the Oak' He was brilliant! It was my second time seeing him.I love it when he does really simply folk like this. Love it.x

[potatoehead54]

anyone know what band that bodhran players from i recognise him??

[HippyJohnWales]

I think it's Connor from Uiscedwr. Another great band.

[HippyJohnWales]

Oops, I meant Cormac Byrne. (Sorry Cormac).

[benstags]

How retarded is how they are doing tickets this year, the net will crash in the first hour and then the phones will be jammed, as apposed to going and queueing up to get your tickets, very very poor show from the organisers, oh well festival season is almost here, if i cant get tickets i shant bother trying again, Peace x x

[kharndog]

I think it depends on the servers wether or not it crashes... I mean its not exactly glastonbury.

[benstags]

Not exactly glastonbury, exactly right thats why it sold out in a couple of hours, managed to get tickets, had to go through 3 times to get my card to work was proper retarded, been to one festival got another tomorrow, yippeeeee!!!!!

[sleepypoodle]

I thought that the system worked really well this year after crashing last year. There were three of us queueing online and we all got through with no problems and got camping at Cherry Hinton. I used to like Seth but find him a bit gimmicky and boring now...a bit of a 'one trick pony' in my humble opinion, but I'm sure thousands would disagree. Martha Wainwright was a disappointment too, I much prefer Rufus.

[beckshef]

Bloody brilliant, and handsome chap too! ;-)

[gallweym]

ain't he just !!! woop woop!!

but seriously, was impressed by the Made in England programme on BBC1 in the UK last night - first time seen Seth - just booked tickets to his May 18th gig in Buxton :))))

[benstags]

1 HOUR AND WE WILL BE ON THE WAY, :-)

[Bungoboy]

I'm Packing my bags tomorrow! Its gonna be my first time at the festival (well, i'm only 14!) Who's looking forward to Show Of Hands?  I AM!

[benstags]

Yeeeehhhhaaaaaaaa, i am looking forward to all of it wahooooo!!!!!!!!!! it is here again, 24 hours we will be in radio 2 stage, woop woop woop woop woop woop. yeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa­!!!!!!

[flydarling]

Yep I was there when they filmed this and it was so hot and it was early so people pace themselves. Lots of people sit in that tent out of the sun early on, by evening there's no one sitting and everyone's on their feet. It was a great set and we were on our feet dancing with our little ones. (Just hoping for more of this mellow sun time this year!) Cheers, Lesley

[benstags]

281 hours til we are there on the thursday morning, yeeeehhhhaaaaaaa!!!!!! wahoo!!!! i love cambridge folk festival, 22nd one for me this year rock n roll!!!!! I'll be dancing all day for 4 days, it is very chilled though i agree even though it is commercialised now it is still the original folk music home of mine, hope you are all going i'll be the crazy guy with long purple hair come and chat yeeehhhaaaaaa! (shout that lots too) Peace and Love all the way!!

[flydarling]

Hopefully I won't be the one with mud up to my middle. Praying for a nice dry one. If I see you I'll definately come and say hi. This will be my 9th in a row. My kids have been raised on that orange festival dirt. Cheers, Lesley

[pouk1977]

Cambridge is so so so so chilled - the audience are probably loving it - thats how they show it!

[banrionaiasc]

i saw him and he got a way better response...this must have been like thursday or something because the cambridge weekend crowd are wild ;) i should know, i'm in it ;)

[PoitinCZ]

lovely stuff- saw him supporting the Levellers in Pilsen, CZ and met him afterwards- sweet guy- very down to earth and modest and so talented! Jeremy/Poitin

[wrightjosh8]

his skills are unbelieveable

[ivor1977]

saw him do this at V Festival, brought a tear to my eye, and made my hairs stand on end! plus it brought on the pills a treat!! lmao! sorry

[Moonpaws]

Seth sound's great but someone needs to wake up the crowd...

[timshen6475]

That's quite a good response from an English audience :-)

[Mrgd291190]

Should have seen him on TV on "Hay on Sky", the SkyArts show about the Hay-On-Wye festival. There was barely a movement. Crowd looked dead!

[smileycheese]

I love this guy so much. He is so awesome live. AndI'veMetHimTwice :)

[LouRob]

Breathtaking!! I`m mesmerised by his fingers and watching his foot going *grins* Listening to him is heaven, watching him perform is just something else!!! I just HAVE to get to a gig!

[LouRob]

Amazing!!!
