FOLK-rock musician Seth Lakeman from Yelverton who recently went behind bars to launch his solo album inside Dartmoor jail, will be headlining at Morwellham Quay?s third annual evening of acoustic music on Saturday July 24.

Along with other Dartmoor inspired songs, Seth will be performing ?Blood Upon Copper? a song inspired by the copper mining history of the area.
Seth, 26, is well-known locally and in the folk world and has travelled the world extensively with folk-rock group Equation and Irish singing sensation Cara Dillon. He has recently released his second album, ?Kitty Jay?. The songs are inspired by the legends and landscape of Dartmoor and should fit really well with the unique mix of past and present that is Morwellham Quay.
The evening features a blend of traditional and contemporary acoustic music and will also feature Plymouth-based Irish folk band Mad Dog Mcrea who were a huge hit at last year?s event. They play a fast and furious and eminently danceable brand of Celtic folk. Completing the line up will be local bluegrass band Out to Grass.
If you haven?t visited Morwellham by night before ?Folk on the Quay? is definitely the place to start!
