Seth Lakeman to headline Galtres

Galtres festival will celebrate its eighth year with a line-up that will be co-headlined on Sunday by Seth Lakeman.

The Mercury-nominated singer-songwriter and fiddler will headline a day of folk and roots music on the Oxman Stage at Galtres, his latest album 'Tales from the Barrel House' will feature prominently in his set.

"This is a great early booking for us," said James Houston, festival director, "and is just one of the many big names to feature at Galtres 2012. We can look forward to a captivating, energetic and undeniably compelling live show from award-winning Seth Lakeman and his superbly talented band."

The other co-headlining Sunday act has not yet been announced, and nor has Friday or Saturday's headliners. The first confirmed acts joining Seth Lakeman are Martin Stephenson, Hope & Social, Littlemores, Virginia MacNaughton, Boss Caine, Jamie Brewer, Jon Gomm, Aelfen, Sarah Horn and James Cudworth, David McCaffrey and Roger Davies, Gypsy Dave Smith, and Holly Taymar.

The Galtres festival started out as a beer and cider festival that included local based musicians and has gone through a change over the last couple of years and is now considered more of a music festival that has some great locally produced beers/ciders on sale.

In January an adult ticket is priced at £90, child (aged 5 -17 years) tickets are priced at £35, a family ticket (2 adults and up to three children) is priced at £250.
