Seth Lakeman
23 October 2012 7:30 PM
Buxton Opera House
Seth Lakeman returns to Buxton Opera House to showcase songs from his latest album, Tales from the Barrel House (on which Seth has not only written, sung and played all the instruments on every track on the album but also recorded and mixed the whole album himself), as well as tracks from his previous albums. The album underlines Seth’s innate knack for writing both foot-stomping, sing-along songs and more tender, thoughtful ballads. His playing is often breathtaking and Seth’s trademark, soaring vocals are at the forefront, as beguiling and haunting as ever. Charismatic, full of passionate energy and giving voice to people from the past, Tales from the Barrel House will entrance and enthral a growing army of present-day fans and, undoubtedly, will also be discovered by lovers of heartfelt music – discerning folk – of the future.
