I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve seen Seth Lakeman.
I think the first time was in 2008 at Shaw Playhouse. He was touring with a young lady named Jenna, and Steve Knightly from Show of Hands. Steve was wanting to show off the talents of the two younger West Country singers.
A very enjoyable evening became memorable at the start of the second half when Seth performed Kitty Jay. The whole audience was blown away. I’m not surprised that it has become the song he is most well known for.
It is interesting how Kitty Jay has developed over the years. The intro and the outro are considerably longer that the first performance I heard, but every time I hear it, it steals the show.
