Seth Lakeman

One night we were watching BBC4 for their coverage of the Brits, and were blown away by the performance one man - Seth Lakeman. His outrageously energetic fiddle-playing combined with his aggressively punk-folk vocals had me absolutely captivated. Thus, when tickets for the tour to support his new album, Kitty Jay, went on sale I jumped at the chance. As our first trip to the Borderline it was a brilliant night. A tiny venue with excellent sound, the place is both atmospheric and friendly. Bung on a couple of passable support acts and you've got the makings of a good night. Throw in Seth on top of that and it's dynamite. And on Halloween? Nothing beats it.
