Seth Lakeman Plays Central Station Wrexham

19th February, 2010

Seth Lakeman is one of the fastest-rising stars on the folk roots scene. His 2006 album ‘Freedom Fields'  has sold over 100,000 copies in the UK alone and helped Seth build on his traditional cult following, finding a whole new audience for his rhythmic, captivating brand of indie-folk song writing. Seth was named Folk Singer of the Year and ‘Freedom Fields' awarded Album Of The Year at the prestigious Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2007.

His 2008 album ‘Poor Man's Heaven' charted at number 8 in the UK on its release. The album represented a progression for Seth's sound - while remaining firmly rooted in folk, it moved from a more acoustic-based feel to a fuller, rockier sound, underpinned as ever by emotive lyrics and story telling. It is also the closest representation on record of Seth's live show yet, capturing the rhythmic, raw energy seldom seen in any other acoustic band.

In breaks between touring in 2009 Seth was writing and recording his highly anticipated new studio album ‘Hearts and Minds' which was released last year. Seth will be showcasing some of those new songs on his UK tour in April.
