Seth Lakeman

Seth Lakeman was catapulted into the music mainstream when he was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 2005 for his album _Kitty Jay._ His follow up was the gold-selling _Freedom Fields_ and Seth celebrates the 20th anniversary of the original release of that album. _Freedom Fields_ which includes _Lady of the Sea_, _King and Country_ and _White Hare_ was released twice in 2006. Produced by his brother Sean Lakeman it came out on iScream and was then re-released by Relentless (EMI) where it went on to become Seth's first of 6 UK Top 40 albums. _Freedom Fields_ helped Seth build on his traditional cult following but found him a whole new audience for his rhythmic, captivating brand of indie-folk song writing. He was named Folk Singer of the Year, and _Freedom Fields_ awarded Album Of The Year at the _BBC Radio 2_ Folk Awards in 2007. Multiple albums, tours and high-profile collaborations later, the acclaimed folk artist released his latest studio album _The Granite Way_, in February 2025 on his own label, Honour Oak Records. This is a collection of songs recorded alongside a group of longtime collaborators of Seth's, staying true to his roots and referring to ancient stories that inspired early West Country storytelling on albums like _Kitty Jay_ and _Freedom Fields_.
