Mercury-nominated folk musician Seth Lakeman returns to Crawley's Hawth following a sell-out gig at the venue in 2008.

The West Country born singer and songwriter was credited with bringing folk music to a whole new audience since his 2005 album Kitty Jay.

Lakeman's performance in Crawley is one of only seven special concerts.

Armed with raging fiddle and rampant imagination he takes the established folk orthodoxy and turns it on its head as the spirit of a rock band meets the subject matter of the folk tale in a blur of fiddle, acoustic guitar and foot-stomping rhythms.
