Three or so weeks ago I was sat watching late night television with my sister looking up our favourite folk artists or various sites. We happened to go on to the official Seth Lakeman website, a well known folkie and a dab hand at his art, being brought up on folk music from his father since he was young.
As we surveyed the scene on the computer screen we happened to look on the tour dates and found that in mid July he was going to perform at Derby... at 'the Venue' club no less we both knew what this and it was not long before we had ordered tickets and with a short time we were putting on our coats and off to the gig with our mother who enjoyed folk also.
His music was played throughout our entire journey, drowning out the Sat Nav, but I knew Derby like the back of a cheese sandwich so it was alight.
Before you read on watch this you might have a taste for what he is like while performing... amazing I think you will agree.
We arrived at the event and watched the support act whose name was 'David Gibbs and the Pony Club' and I must say that David Gibbs had a good sense of humour, great songs, brilliant.
Seth Lakeman came on with his band, his burly bassist, his enthusiastic guitarist and... well... Seth Lakeman with his multi instrumentalist greatness. My sister Hannah made me promise to stand behind her when he came on because she might faint and I was glad she didn't topple over because then I would have to hold her up all night slumped over.
It... was... one... of... the greatest... gigs... I... have... ever... been...to. It was so atmospheric throughout. My favourite song was Kitty Jay. The violin and the fiddle apart from the guitar are the greatest instruments ever.
After they had finished their fast paced set they went off but we stamped, were yelled, we clapped until they came on again and played one more song. It was one of the most fantastic times I have been to, ever... no joke. If you don't know anything about Seth Lakeman then get into his music NOW. You will not be disappointed in the least.
In conclusion I went to a car festival during the weekend and I have no idea about cars but still went because it seemed to be a fun time. Here are some cars that I thought looked nice, taken by my brother. It's funny that I take all these pictures for my blog and I don't even own a camera... I really should to be honest.
