Seth Lakeman was catapulted into the music mainstream when he
was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 2005 for his album Kitty Jay.


His follow up was the gold-selling Freedom Fields and Seth celebrates the
20th anniversary of the original release of that album with two huge tours in
May and October 2026. Freedom Fields, which includes Lady of the Sea, King
and Country and White Hare was released twice in 2006. Produced by his
brother Sean Lakeman it came out on iScream and was then re-released by
Relentless (EMI) where it went on to become Seth’s first of 6 UK Top 40
albums.



Freedom Fields helped Seth build on his traditional cult following but
found him a whole new audience for his rhythmic, captivating brand of indie-folk
song writing. He was named Folk Singer of the Year, and Freedom Fields
awarded Album Of The Year at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2007. Multiple
albums, tours and high-profile collaborations later, the acclaimed folk
artist released his latest studio album The Granite Way, in February 2025 on
his own label, Honour Oak Records. This is a collection of songs recorded
alongside a group of longtime collaborators of Seth’s, staying true to his
roots and referring to ancient stories that inspired early West Country
storytelling on albums like Kitty Jay and Freedom Fields.
