Overview:
Fresh from his whirlwind world tour with rock legend Robert Plant, charismatic singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Seth Lakeman releases his stunning, ninth solo album The Well-Worn Path on October 26 via Cooking Vinyl. The first single will be stand-out, upbeat track “Divided We Will Fall”. Renowned for his barn-storming live shows, Seth will tour the UK in November: Wed 14 Nov GLOUCESTER Guildhall Thu 15 Nov WOLVERHAMPTON Slade Rooms Fri 16 Nov LEEDS Brudenell Social Rooms Sat 17 Nov HOLMFIRTH Picturedrome Sun 18 Nov CARDIFF Tramshed Mon 19 Nov LONDON Islington Assembly Hall Tue 20 Nov PORTSMOUTH Wedgewood Rooms Wed 21 Nov CAMBRIDGE Junction Thu 22 Nov FROME Cheese & Grain Fri 23 Nov LEAMINGTON SPA Assembly Sat 24 Nov FALMOUTH Princess Pavilion The Well-Worn Path was recorded in Seth’s garden studio on Dartmoor in January 2018 on a short break from touring with Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters. It is a return to a no-nonsense, organic, classic folk-rock approach with hints of Fairport Convention, Neil Young, Nick Cave and Billy Bragg. Plus Lakeman’s trademark foot-stomping, fiddle bow-shredding and soaring vocals. Seth brought in top producer Ben Hillier (Elbow, Blur, Depeche Mode, Doves) and his brilliant, new four-piece band consists of long-time collaborator Ben Nicholls (upright and electric bass), new boys Kit Hawes (electric and acoustic guitar) and Evan Jenkins (drums) and one of the finest female folk voices, Kathryn Roberts (Seth’s sister-in-law). Constantly exploring and moving forward musically, Seth says “This ninth CD is quite different from my previous album, with more of a prog-rock approach. My last record was a deliberately understated Americana set, but this one is more rocking.”
