Geoff Lakeman - a veteran of the acoustic music scene and the father of a folk dynasty. He's the dad of folk stars, Seth, Sean and Sam Lakeman, and an acclaimed musician in his own right. He uses a rare Crane duet concertina to accompany folk songs, Americana (like Jimmie Rodgers, Randy Newman and The Louvin Brothers) and even  jazz.

Experience the local legend who inspired his sons - and a  new generation of young folk fans.

It’s hard to believe that George Papavgeris only started writing songs less than 10 years ago. Hard to believe as he has in that time produced eight albums and has enough new material for number nine. Hard to believe because, from what I have heard, they are of a high standard and are being sung by the likes of Roy Bailey, Andy Irvine, Vin Garbutt and Jim Causley.He is not afraid to tackle difficult and sensitive subjects however, George always seems to retain his optimism.
