I can't help but think that the 12 people who have given the thumbs down are the boyfriends of the girls who go all gooey when they see Seth play live...
Absolutely brilliant, he is so talented....i've become a huge fan of Seth's in recent months. I see him perform live for the first time next month and really looking forward to it.
I remember it well - I was about two rows back from the front, right next to his would-be harem. Stunning stuff. I'm going to be at Regents Park Open Air Theatre and I can't really imagine what it will be like actually sitting down through one of his gigs.
OK, just rediscovered the folk-roch thing. This is GREAT and pleeeeeease inform of activity in 09, thanx(denmark calling). I really want to enjoy folk, all along "osa spelmen"(Björn Ulväus/ABBA) to this, recalling Vin Garbutt.... Post post please/Denmark
highest rated comment.....totally forgot about this I loved it a year ago though and now i think i love it even more looking back on that comment I was such a douche haha
He/She is right! Thats one of the reasons why the bow hair's are snapping so easly, because of the amount of rosin he's actually placed on the bow to make ot stick. So much so its fulling the hairs out of the Heel. (Bottom of the bow) Good Man Though...Excellent Playing!
rosin or not THIS GUY IS FUCKING AMAZING my mate and i were on the bus down to dundee when she told me about him and she had lady of the sea on her phone and it blew me away hes awsome babe aswell tbh
It's death was well earned. I love that you can actually see steam coming off him. Insanely talented, it's damn hard to sing and fiddle at the same time.
OMG !!!!! i fucking love this if ur any sort of real music fan then you should apreciate good music and a great musician when yoo see it the thing that gets me about this song is tht i didnt really consider it my sort of taste bt i was soo wrong....yoo jus have to appreciate it when you hear it and if yoo dont in my oppinion you are not a real music fan anyway seth lakeman = fucking living musical genius :D
@sadbaby01, Bollocks yer a folk snob...If ye wanna hear a better fiddler than this, i can only suggest Aaron Catlow Sheelanagig!! yer still a snob! Seth Lakeman is amazing live!!
It doesn't matter of how good the bow is! A good bow anly makes a better balence and control for playing! You could get a £1000 bow and it would do the same thing...just press hard and put load sof rosin on and it will do the job
It takes a good musician to play a violin, when they get good enough at playing the violin they call it a fiddle, when they get real good at playing the fiddle the bow becomes a junk stick with a wig.
"As far as the current crop of songwriters who use the violin as their key instrument go, Lakeman is overshadowed by Andrew Bird, who himself is no patch on Owen Pallett. Aside from that, Lakeman and his drippy nu-folk ilk claim to be contributing to the great tradition of ancestral song, yet in his case this merely masks a paucity of any fresh ideas. Mere fiend with a violin."
He's good, but I don't see how he's any more talented than most folk singers... I mean sure, he's about the only one without a belly the size of a football, but really...
@penguinsrule23 I can't walk the tightrope but I still expect the people at the circus to be able to. All I'm saying is he's no more talented, just more attractive. I don't have a problem with that, God no, but I wish people would admit it. It's like trying to pretend britney spears is popular purely based on the merits of her music.
That is No steam coming off his body, it is the rosin off his bow. This guy is so cheesy at best. This should not even be under a "fiddle solo." There are so many better fiddlers out there than Seth Lakeman. Booooo you for putting this out there on TH-cam.
Now that's how a real musician performs. That is absolutely amazing!.
I can't help but think that the 12 people who have given the thumbs down are the boyfriends of the girls who go all gooey when they see Seth play live...
Wow!
Absolutely brilliant, he is so talented....i've become a huge fan of Seth's in recent months.
I see him perform live for the first time next month and really looking forward to it.
3 things at once. keeping time, playing the fiddle and singing, amazing
oh God I can't believe the state of that bow! XD this is absolutely amazing..the passion he puts into his music is just incredible
I remember it well - I was about two rows back from the front, right next to his would-be harem. Stunning stuff. I'm going to be at Regents Park Open Air Theatre and I can't really imagine what it will be like actually sitting down through one of his gigs.
One extremely talented player. He was rock'n so hard, his strings started breaking. That's epic.
Man...he is so good! That is nuts! Great song too!
Amazing!! Title of this one is kitty Jay.
Awsome! It is really hard to fiddle and sing at the same time, I know...I'm also surprised he had any bow at the end. Good job!
I saw him live at the start of the week, and the moment he started playinh Kitty Jay, we all went absolutely mental :)
He’s the best!

That was fucking immense
It is indeed!
Ja! yes it is good and his feeling are flying across...... go on!
Holy shit, fiddle chords ftw XD

babe aswell tbh
OMG!!!!!
@faydiva. I saw him a week ago, he is so talented and agree rather pleasing on the eyes!
I'm amazed he managed to finish Kitty Jay with that bow! He's brilliant live
I'm converted. I've now seen Seth 4 times since I posted this^ comment..
@WhatKatieDidFirst Yeah, it's like when you see a live guitarist snap a string whilst playing
@penguinsrule23
I'll agree with that.
He was pretty good live at bromyard.
Is that what all the stringy stuff hanging off the end is? Wear and tear on his bow?
stonking!!!!
oh...my...god.
@addyr100 Dude is doing a live show, he doesn't have time to use rosin after every song.
Fucking wicked stuff
he has steam coming off of him i have done that once before from playing tennis for 2 hours
its kitty jay search him on itunes
That's rosin dust, not steam.
Now it makes sense, because even decent bows won't lose their hair like that. He played fabulously though, and it did add a nice effect.
'scuse me; where's the fiddle playing?
God, I feel sorry for that poor bow!!! Bloody amazing though!!
It's death was well earned. I love that you can actually see steam coming off him. Insanely talented, it's damn hard to sing and fiddle at the same time.
yeah, it's the hairs on his bow all broken, i'm guessing over half of the bow hairs were buggered just from that solo...worth it though!!!
!! Give me a Child !!!
Those shoulders look like they need a damned good rubbin'. :)
That's rosin, not steam.
@owainyebastards He has a kind of stomp box I think
OMG !!!!!
i fucking love this
if ur any sort of real music fan then you should apreciate good music and a great musician when yoo see it
the thing that gets me about this song is tht i didnt really consider it my sort of taste
bt i was soo wrong....yoo jus have to appreciate it when you hear it and if yoo dont in my oppinion you are not a real music fan
anyway seth lakeman = fucking living musical genius :D
i'm a guitarist.... he's good.

@xxlarkxx nopz, i understand and appreciate so get overyourself.
btw he MINCED that bow up.
he completely fucked up his bow. Horse´s hair have blown up with friction.
It takes a good musician to play a violin, when they get good enough at playing the violin they call it a fiddle, when they get real good at playing the fiddle the bow becomes a junk stick with a wig.
