Seth Lakeman: The Courier – video

Tuesday, 21 Jan 2014

Seth Lakeman is one of the UK's most acclaimed young folk artists. "Over recent albums Lakeman has stretched the crossover potential of his fiddle-based folk to snapping point, playing ever fiercer, more muscular variants of his west country tales," Neil Spencer wrote in the Observer of his last album. Now we're pleased to present his latest video, The Courier, taken from the album Word of Mouth, due to be released on 3 February
