Seth Lakeman

Seth Lakeman has established himself as a leading folk musician. A celebrated singer he's also a multi-instrumentalist and respected songwriter.

Growing up in Devon with musical parents Geoff and Joy it is little wonder he and his brothers Sam and Sean became musicians.

Seth tells Phil Cunningham how music was always a feature of the family home along with a good dose of healthy rivalry. The annual highlight was when they all went on family busking holidays in France where they performed as the Frantic Five.

Now in demand throughout the country Seth has several albums to his name and recalls playing on BBC Scotland's Hogmanay Live along with Phil.

Phil's association with the family goes back many years having played at Geoff Lakeman's 40th birthday celebrations where a young Seth knew him as Mr Monkey!

Phil opens the show with Seth's song Lady of the Sea before Seth picks these five tracks:

Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli - Shine

Randy Newman - Short People

Richard Thompson - 1952 Vincent Black Lightning

Joan Osborne - St Teresa

Toots and the Maytals - Louie Louie

Phil closes the show with the track Hard Road from Seth's latest album, Tales from the Barrel House.
