Seth Lakeman, is the West Country born singer and songwriter credited with bringing folk music to a whole new audience since his 2005 Mercury nominated debut ‘Kitty Jay’.

Seth’s third album ‘Poor Man’s Heaven’ (follow up to 2006’s critically acclaimed, gold selling ‘Freedom Fields’), perfectly captures the raw, rhythmic energy of his live shows.

Produced in large part by Seth’s brother and fellow band member, Sean Lakeman, ‘Poor Man’s Heaven’ represents a progression for Seth’s sound – while remaining firmly rooted in folk, it moves from a more acoustic-based feel to a fuller, rockier sound, underpinned as ever by emotive lyrics and story telling, this time with a strong coastal theme.
