Equation is tagged as: folk, chillout, indie, female vocalists, jazz Equation has been compared to the likes of such folk greats as Fairport Convention and Richard Thompson. The bands name reflects its development as something of a folk/pop super group in the the late 1990’s. The band is based on the the telents of the three Lakeman brothers, Sean, Seth and Sam to which were added the extraordinary female talents of Kate Rusby, Kathryn Roberts and Cara Dillon. The original band (minus Rusby) recorded “Return to Me” in 1996 - but record company problems meant that the album hardly saw the light of day until 2003. Cara Dillon and Sam Lakeman left to set up Cara’s solo career leaving Roberts, Sean and Seth Lakeman and new band members Darren Edwards (Bass) ans Iain Goodall (Drums) to prodcuse the sensational “Hazy Days” in 1998 - which together with the band’s live performances - particularly on the growing UK Summer Festival scene - confirmed the band’s reputation as the very best exponents of folk pop since Fairport Convention. Equation skillfully combines elements of celtic folk, rock and pop to create a unique sound. The Band followed Hazy Days with “The Lucky Few” (2000) with James Crocker on electric guitar giving the band a more rocky and less fiddle based sound. ... Read More About Equation Biography...
