[yellowlizzy]

[yellowlizzy]

He's not indie you fricking moron!!!

[FannyNElvis]

Andrew stop talking too him and let him play i love him hes fab this is my favourate song of his bar the white hare xx

[mikeyirish1967]

What a voice. What a talent. The West Country is making some good-looking gents out there.

[thecerneabbasgiant]

ooooo seth , dont mime on telly

[natureangel2]

I saw him in concert for the first time last night, he was brilliant live, so talented!! I'm definately a fan now!

[kolona45]

damn thats talent

[indigomoon1949]

Love this fella and he's a Cornishman

[BritJanny]

@indigomoon1949

I thought Seth was Devon born .. he is from Yelverton

[indigomoon1949]

@BritJanny

Hi Britjanny, you are right, I hang my head in shame...

[BritJanny]

@indigomoon1949

forgiven lol x

[1luvdrums]

You should see Wolfe Hogan, he plays Violin and and sings at the same time as well. He's great.

[PrawnToucher]

Shame they made him mime (GMTVs fault id imagine) as he has an amazing live voice- possibly even better than his recorded voice. Seth Lakeman is awesome!

[wemorga1]

An original talent from the West Country. He puts to shame some of the crap we hear in the charts and on the radio.

[FabiaGeorge12]

Seeeen him live :)

[MrPocketGroover]

i cant believe he said indie, the libertines are indie, this is roots folk heritage music you douche, the music of your ancestors

[TheMrDobbins]

@MrPocketGroover to be precise, indie was originally short for independent. Seth Lakeman prior to signing to R********* was independent. 

[owainyebastards]

im shit at playin the fiddle compared to this feller-and he can sing at the same time what a guy

[aliencheesemaker]

What do you mean "Up and coming"? He's one of the greatest names on the Folk scene!

Only because you don't switch over from Radio 1...

[ivor1977]

i know its a bad thing to say, but young Seth should have gone on Britains Got Talent. Sorry mate, you are the man.

[Puyo499]

he's not lipsyncing in this video, but he's not really playing violin. He does when he's not on TV and it's atually 20 times more awesome :D

[1roryelliott]

@Puyo499 I agree about the live performance, but think he is playing the violin... its jacked in (as they all seem to be) and although he racks up the intensity live and this is more studio its pretty impressive for 8.26am

[14soreal]

he is amazing, check out our folk song on our profile

[SethLakemanisamazing]

think he is miming because where is the backing vocals coming from? Bet he didn't want to mime though

[Varian128]

@SethLakemanisamazing

Where we the chimes coming from?

Many bands play with a backing track. I think it's lame, but they do it. I don't think he's miming.

:)

[SethLakemanisamazing]

@Varian128 good point, soz, I woz half asleep last time I watched it so did't really know what I woz saying. soz

[Finn071188]

miming? you're an idiot.

[tomgamble07]

hes not miming...

[TheBeth9797]

so hott :D

[thepooking]

fake. shit. i was expecting live real not bollocks fake. come on seth lad, don't let the team down. 0 stars

[FolkCool]

@thepooking

It's not his fault, I think he was forced to mime it

[TheNerveUk1]

@thepooking agreed, but he does play well live :)

[neetzy1]

I bet he didnt want to,

[SNImpalaRocks]

I'm not saying anything against Seth here, I absolutely love him, I just think that he's miming here, maybe it's just a backing track, but I think he's miming. :(

Anyways, love Seth, this is one of my favourite songs of his

[FolkCool]

@SNImpalaRocks

Yea he is using a backing track here but the vocals aren't mimed, jus everythin else. I think he was forced to use a backin track for this performance, cuz there's no way he himself woulda chose to do tht, he would always perform live. :/

[mrmuscle91]

is he using a looping pedal to get the second violin part in? i can't see one :S and where are the backing vocals coming from? :S

[WatTyler13]

Fantastic, but you'd think they could have let him play live instead of making him mime to the album version.

[DragoneluMe]

God he is amazing I love Lady of the Sea,,,

[littlemissavocado]

seen him twice now, recently at Shrewsbury - he's absolutely BRILLIANT! this has always been my favourite of his tracks, it's superb.

[EtherealChannel]

wooo! just seen him in brecon, my friend had a spare ticket, never heard of him before, now I'm completely obsessed!

My fave song <3

[charlottekeable]

love this song, saw him at otley folk festival a couple of times, he was fab!!!

[TheOKAY]

i wish he would just shut up, and play his fiddle.

[shonasdad6554]

love love love it.......

[DoubleAoifeness]

I love this guy!! I saw him live and he is AMAZING!! You should give The white hare a listen to. It gets me and my mum singing (badly) everytime

[samhawkins233]

he is so cool

[DragonFlagPride]

I got to meet this guy in Cardiff yesterday in a book shop and he played a few songs. Was Amazing.

[Bendi96]

[TDjess]

[aprilsmusicxx]

[LadySleek83]

I thought he was American, he has an American vibe

[Josiieeeeeeee]

[fonzleclay]

Yeah I've seen him live, but this is different, this isn't live, this is in studio

[lucyx51]

Omg i saw him live ... he is like soooo gd!

[notice1]

[ChasJ1978]

Awesome! Acoustic is the best! Keep up the good work Seth!

[welshhippychicks]

seth lakeman is amazing and i love this song and i've seen him live at greenbelt festival

[youbecame]

Im under the impression that everyone who "performs" on GMTV mimes.

Thats not to say anythign against Seth Lakeman, I think he's awesome, seen him twice myself, but that aside, Im pretty sure this was a mime this time :(

[Tweak96]

There is definatly a backing track being played, but the vocals at least appear to be live. The violin... maybe not...

[youbecame]

Compare it to the original.

The vocals are too perfect :(

[pinkfairyice]

I always thought he was Irish :(

O well...he's well fit!

[robertsc95]

i've seen him three times and he was great all three times. great musician.

[matt1810]

I saw him at Hay Festival and he was great!

[katherine500]

mmm he is sex on legs

[indrakamala]

lol, absolutely agree ;)

[address5550]

@katherine500 totally./... <3

[BGthedrummer]

my auties is going to see him tonight

[funky50something]

Seen him live a couple of times a brilliant performer.Well worth catching if he tours again.

[gallweym]

He is touring now, in the UK. Just missed him at the rescue rooms, Nottingham :(((

But booked Buxton Opera House for May 18 :)))

He is appearing at several venues with the levellers, so that would be frikkin amazing.

wtf are these youtube vids so quiet grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[castoro83]

Irish music for ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[crustymiller]

shame he is english

[lilliea06]

L O L

[oclandestin]

"shame he is english"... Why?

[crustymiller]

well the castoro guy was like irish music forever, and its not irish, its nowhere near it, its english folk

[theyoungestwarrior]

why ?

[crustymiller]

im sorry, where does the question "why?" come into it

i wasnt stating a dissapointment because he is an english citizen i was just saying that the person thought it was irish folk when when it was english

[djelal89]

because you are very jerk

[guitargenius1234]

Grammar can help you.

[pardoned]

haha burnnnn

[NOORBIE]

great great great

thank's nolle

[chipcg]

can a man be any sexier,,great lookin excelent music,,

[friarlane]

he is a bit tasty isn't he

[skipy936]

I stumbled on folk music in 1971, I have been running folk festivals & clubs ever since, this will bring the next generation on.

Wish I could afford him for my festival!

[mingelips]

he pulls some good faces!

[hockey693]

niceeee

[xhris94]

fair enough, just sounds like exactly like the record thats all. im not too good with all this recording stuff

[littlesthobbo]

I've met him. I helped him with his mareketing with one of my mates. Almost got invited back to his bus for a drink but he was ill. One of the nicest, most genuine people I've met. Honestly willing and wanting to chat to fans. We chatted for about an hour. Love him!

[xhris94]

however much i love his work, surely (if you know the song well enough) you can tell that the violin is not live. at least his vocals are though. unlike all the rubbish you would used to get on totp

[littlesthobbo]

the violin is live, it's just that he's not playing the main violin tune, he's packing violin live and playing the backing violin live and the mian violin's pre recorded, which is fair enough seeing as he can only play one violin at a time.

[snorkmaiden81]

Oh I don't know - I've seen him 3 times and despite the fact that he's excellent live - he sounds nothing like his studio work. Here however they seem to have simply played the single version of the song

[stephowe15]

He doesn't sounds very devonshire, fair enough.

But, I'm from devon, and i dont sound very devonshire.

None of my mates do...

Not every one in Devon goes ooo arrrr.

[wdstick]

He really doesn't sound very Devonshire. He should stop spending so much time in London, it's really telling. He does sound like a Londoner, if I had to place him.

[Katwood101]

i'm devonian but I don't sound it

[wdstick]

Fair enough.

[LewisHamiltonRules]

devonian? lol

[Clairedizzyme]

no he isn't miming i saw him live at beverley music festival he was ace!!!!

[littlesthobbo]

I love him a lot, and think he's really REALLY hot, but pause at 3.30, it's HILARIOUS! My mate and I think it's a bit Paul Robinson from Neighbours. Bless him. YAY SETH!!

[animalunaris]

That was scary!

[fabstervroom]

GMTV... housewives and idiotic presenters... Noooo Seth don't go down that populist route!!

[Rachel271994]

fab song and Seth is nice on the eye too!!!!

[hazel220]

this is a very good video.

good luck to seth

[SilverVixen2000]

He isn't miming! He is far to good! Its great to see a local lad doing so well!! I'll wait to see you sat around the Poole kitchen table in Bere Ferrers soon!

[wizzyfizzy]

He is great, I have seen him live and his stage presence is just amazing.... this is certainly not dubbed!!

[odjob87]

great song

but i fink its miming

[matthewandlouise123]

i love this song!!

[ivor1977]

but Seth is a good guy.

[pogperson]

ahhhh Seth is amazing but who are these idiotic presenters!? grrr

[spongeferbrains]

just heard this on tv thought i check it out on youtube god i was wrong (throws up in pants)
