Seth Lakeman
Folk singer Seth Lakeman talks to Phil Cunningham about family and music and chooses his five tracks. From January 2013.
Seth Lakeman has established himself as a leading folk musician. A celebrated singer he's also a multi-instrumentalist and respected songwriter.
Growing up in Devon with musical parents Geoff and Joy it is little wonder he and his brothers Sam and Sean became musicians.
Seth tells Phil Cunningham how music was always a feature of the family home along with a good dose of healthy rivalry. The annual highlight was when they all went on family busking holidays in France where they performed as the Frantic Five.
Now in demand throughout the country Seth has several albums to his name and recalls playing on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Scotland's Hogmanay Live along with Phil.
Phil's association with the family goes back many years having played at Geoff Lakeman's 40th birthday celebrations where a young Seth knew him as Mr Monkey!
Phil opens the show with Seth's song Lady of the Sea before Seth picks these five tracks:
Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli - Shine
Randy Newman - Short People
Richard Thompson - 1952 Vincent Black Lightning
Joan Osborne - St Teresa
Toots and the Maytals - Louie Louie
Phil closes the show with the track Hard Road from Seth's latest album, Tales from the Barrel House.
