This morning I played one of my all-time favourite albums, Pentangle's Basket of Light, in his memory ... This year has started in the worst possible way. |

Fantastic album, and one that should be in everybody's collection. RIP John. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

We're talking about the 1960's and 1970's ... and that means that many more will go away and it is up to us to keep the light going!
Not to mention that even some of us will also go away sooner or later! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |

Renbourne was an inspiration to many guitar players across the genres, myself included. I listened to my favorite album of his in memorium, The Hermit.  ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Very sad. I saw him play a couple of times, both wonderful. Spinning the first Pentangle album now - a perfect gem. |

It feels like everytime I open this site, another great musician passes away. This year just keeps getting worse. RIP ------------- "Hey there, Dog Man, now I drink from your bowl." |

Saw John and Bert do a very intimate gig in Devon in the early 80's- fantastic, one of the best gigs ever- magical guitar playing, a real rapport between the two, tightness and fluidity, a very english almost mediaeval style with loose, rolling jazz flavours.. absolute magic. RIP a true genius. |

John Renbourn - one of the great acoustic guitarists of a generation...better make that 2 generations i.e. 1965- 1990 and 1990-2015. He played some extremely intricate pieces but it was like watching someone shell peas. His greatest piece of musicianship IMHO is The Nine Maidens: Clarsach / The Nine Maidens / The FiddlerFind it, listen to it and shake your head in wonder. Here's to a musical genius that was John Renbourn. |

| Very sad news. I was lucky enough to see Pentangle live some years back and it was one of the best gigs I've ever been to. |
