Bridgwater Arts Centre is delighted to announce that acclaimed folk musician Seth Lakeman will perform live at the venue on Wednesday 21 April 2027.
One of the UK’s most celebrated contemporary folk artists, Seth Lakeman rose to national prominence when his 2005 album Kitty Jay was nominated for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize. He followed this success with the gold-selling Freedom Fields, an album that celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2026 and includes fan favourites such as Lady of the Sea, King and Country and White Hare.
Over a career spanning more than two decades, Lakeman has established himself as a leading figure in the British folk scene, releasing multiple acclaimed albums, undertaking extensive tours and collaborating with renowned artists including Van Morrison, Robert Plant and Public Service Broadcasting. In February 2025, he released his latest studio album, The Granite Way, on his own label, Honour Oak Records.
Audiences at Bridgwater Arts Centre can look forward to an intimate evening showcasing Lakeman’s distinctive blend of traditional folk influences, contemporary songwriting and exceptional musicianship. Joining him will be longtime collaborator and friend Benji Kirkpatrick, a respected musician in his own right, known for his solo work and as a member of the award-winning folk band Bellowhead.
Together, the pair promise an unforgettable evening of outstanding live music, featuring songs from across Lakeman’s celebrated catalogue alongside newer material from The Granite Way.
