A collaboration with sisters/cousin trio Wildwood Kin, Ballads is pares down even further from his semi-rustic 2014 effort Word of Mouth, offering spare single-mike renderings of seven new originals and four traditional and cover songs. As is occasionally his custom, Lakeman once again eschews a proper studio, opting to record at an old Jacobean manor house, with Ethan Johns capturing the sessions in all their harmonic glory.

Ballads of the Broken Few was released on Cooking Vinyl and charted at number 19, Seth's 8th Studio album. He toured around the UK and played many festivals including Beautiful Days, Glastonbury Festival and Sidmouth Folk Week. In October Seth received an Honorary Degree - Master of Arts. Seth re-released the Top 20 album, Ballads Of The Broken Few with added bonus tracks around his performance at BBC Radio 2’s Festival in a Day at Hyde Park in September 2017.

What people are saying about 'Ballads of the Broken Few' Album Launch. Rated 1 out of 5 by TrevHadfield from Very poor quality sound it was impossible to make out what was being sung as the sound was so muffled. we nearly walked out several times. when Seth sang without the PA it was fabulous. unfortunately the evening was ruined by the appalling sound quality. Date published: 2016-10-03. Rated 3 out of 5 by Fossil from Gigs in churches Seth Lakeman and Wildwood Kin were brave enough to play in the Church of St Peter and the Apostles in Plymouth, quite possibly for the lack of anywhere else suitable in a city that suffers from a paucity of decent music venues. Musically this was a treat, with Seth's powerfully worded and heartfelt folk songs striking touching local chords with a largely mature audience.

Seth Lakeman will re-release his Top 20 album ‘Ballads of the Broken Few’, with five added bonus tracks on September 15 via Cooking Vinyl. Recorded during the original album sessions, with producer Ethan Johns, the previously unreleased bonus tracks are: Gambling Man, Everything, Days Are Longer, Wake Up and Bury Me Deep.
