seth lakeman
with Nick Harper

Eastleigh welcome this incredible artist, winner of BBC Radio 2 best folk artist and best album last year.

Seth will be playing at all the major festivals this year from Glastonbury to Cambridge whilst promoting his brand new album, Poor Man's Heaven. This is your chance to see him up close at our intimate festival.

His first album, The Punch Bowl, gave way to the groundbreaking Kitty Jay, which was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize and established him as a new voice in British music, using acoustic instruments right through his ‘unplugged’ quartet but fusing that raw, furious and energetic sound with an intense vocal imagery and style which evokes influences as diverse as Joe Strummer, Jeff Buckley, The Streets and Martin Carthy. His album, Freedom Fields, is another collection of soaring, self-penned tales of love, conflict and mysteries, inspired by ancient tales but somehow totally modern.

"Compelling fiddle playing, youthful exuberance and instinctive charm... An astonishing visceral fiddle player, Lakeman's obvious passion and love of modern bass lines infects these songs to their core." The Word

NICK HARPER

To call Nick a superlative singer/songwriter could put his highly lauded guitar talent in the shade, and to call him a guitarist's guitarist might slight his distinctive, soulful voice and passionate songs. Not forgetting the wild ride that is one of his live shows - from personal introspection to biting political satire via a charmingly caustic wit that would make Groucho Marx proud.

"If you've never seen [Harper] live, you're missing out on one of the musical phenomenons of our age."
Glasgow Herald

"Nick Harper is a force of nature… the sheer weight of ideas in his music makes him irresistible and unstoppable... Harper the performer is a fearsome weapon. Phenomenal? You bet your life."
