Watch the mighty Pentangle performing ‘Blues In Time’, recorded in January 1971 by the BBC. Jacqui McShee sits out this one, leaving Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Danny Thompson and Terry Cox to work their instrumental magic.
Jacqui McShee has shared an exclusive recording made on 23rd January 1974 at Grenoble University in France of her performance with the late John Renbourn. Listen in full here.
Recorded on St Valentine’s day 1978, there is much to love here – John Renbourn’s earthy charm, Jacqui McShee’s cut-glass clear and peerless vocals and Keshav Sathe’s superb tabla – a band at the peak of their powers.
Watch Pentangle in their original lineup performing ‘People on the Highway’ live on Belgian TV from 1972. The track featured on their final release ‘Solomon’s Seal’.
Throughout “An Evening With…” I’m struck over and again by the sheer wow factor, the spine-tingling effectiveness of this particular extraordinary musical partnership of John Renbourn & Jacqui McShee. However many albums you own by these two musicians, you’ll still need this one!
Recorded during Pentangle’s twelve-date 2008 reunion tour, Finale is a magnificent record in all respects. Treasure this set, for we’ll not see the like of Pentangle again. Out this week on Topic Records.
FINALE was recorded live during the 2008 Pentangle tour and sees the original line-up revisit their classic repertoire. The beautifully recorded and packaged 2CD set captures the band in a series of scintillating performances.
Featuring Martin Simpson, Karine Polwart, Robert Plant, Ryley Walker, Jacqui McShee and more, a Bert Inspired proved to be an excellent show, and a fitting tribute to a folk legend.
