Happy Birthday to the lovely Seth Lakeman who was born on this day in 1977, in West Devon, England. He grew up in a musical family and in a place which I expect is steeped in tradition and stories, at the edge of the moors. A folk artist, he played with several ensembles to begin with and then moved on to establish a successful solo career. Interestingly one of his earlier albums, Kitty Jay, was recorded by his brother Sean for under £300, in his kitchen, pr oceeded to go silver and was nominated for a coveted award. Just goes to show! He plays the violin, banjo, tenor guitar and viola, and it’s in his blood IMHO - he makes it all seem so effortless.
In addition to his own work, he's played with Jethro Tull and recorded and toured with Robert Plant - not a terrible CV!
This looks like such an amazing venue, The Minack Theatre – right on the cliffs … he will be performing there this year again … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqM3XOkMYEM – unbelievable energy on the title track of the aforementioned "Kitty Jay", live version at The Minack - okay the foot drum does speed up occasionally but who can do all that and keep the timing perfect, not to mention without even appearing to break a sweat?? … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLrOR6swYPI
Just love this one – “Blacksmith’s Prayer” ….
And this is the title track from his most recent album – “Make Your Mark” …

^^^ Thank you! Happy 68th birthday to Reba! I have several favorites from her, but I am going to share this clip of her because it comes from her TV show. She didn't do much singing on the show, but of the singing that she did do during the show, this performance in my opinion was the best.

from the days before rap/hip-hop became vulgar and sexualised.
