Should receive more recognition - By: Mr. M. D. Hoskins, 11 May 2008 
First saw Seth Lakeman on Channel Five's "My Music". Thought he sounded great & not too folky. I bought Freedom Fields CD & thought it was excellent. Found out that he was gigging in Peterborough where I live so went with the wife to see him live. Thought he was excellent. The wife rated him 6 out of 10. Her tastes are West Life & Wet Wet Wet. I usuallly listen to bands like Coldplay, U2, The Doors, The Killers, The Strokes, Radio Head, REM, Take That etc but I like a song to tell a good story which Seth pulls off in his song writing. The only downside (LIVE)is his guitar playing brother in the band who doesn't look the part. He looked too wooden & is riding on his brother's success. I would recommend you buy this CD & go see Seth live. The crowd is so diverse with alll ages. Don't worry about the odd looking folky people who can't dance.
A great modern folk talent - By: something fishy, 26 Apr 2008 Same as E.T below, I saw Seth last year at the Princess Pavillion in Falmouth. He is an outstanding talent & a bundle of energy on stage.
This album is a real classic, I love every song.
My only fear, how he's made it, is that we won't see him in Cornwalll for another 25 years (if Steeleye Span or Ian Anderson are anything to go by).
Lady of the Sea is by far the best. - By: Ms. F. Lawrence, 21 Apr 2008 
I reallly like this album. Only one bad point reallly, it gets a bit repetative after a few songs. The most different & 'prick-your-ears-up' track is Lady of The Sea which I utterly love. Good music for your car or in the background while you work. I am going to see him live this week, should be good!
Hope he's coming back to Cornwall soon! - By: E. T. Champion, 16 Jan 2008 I saw a tiny clip of this on TV earlier this year & scoured everywhere to find it!
With a voice this full of emotion & passionate, masterfull fiddle playing, it makes your skin tingle, & live it just gets better.
I saw him play at the Falmouth festival in August ~ 'blown away' just doesn't do the feeling justice.
I can't wait for the next gig down our way!
Excellent Stuff!!! - By: pinkthing999, 12 Nov 2007 Who said that British Folk music was alll portly gentlemen sporting beige tank tops singing in obscure clubs whilst having a finger stuck firmly in one ear.
Seth Lakeman rocks & plays a mean fiddle too. He's just a bit cute as well !!!!
I'm only sorry that I heard of him only recently (my bad) & just missed his tour.
I will most definitely be making up for that ommission as soon as I can.
Great CD !!!
