Dispatches From Beardsville - Pentangle reform!

pentangle1 Dispatches From Beardsville Pentangle reform! Folk fans. It’s time to rejoice and weep tears of unadulterated joy because the daddies of Britfolk, Pentangle, are reforming to play a one-off anniversary gig at London’s Royal Festival Hall next June. The original band comprising Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Jacqui McShee, Danny Thompson and Terry Cox are reuniting for their Sweet Child double album’s 40th anniversary.
A boom in folk (thanks in no small part to The Green Man Festival) has seen the band enjoying renewed success which led to the legendary group bagging a lifetime achievement award at the BBC Folk Awards this year. The concert is to take place on June 29, 2008, exactly 40 years since Sweet Child’s release. Go to www.southbankcentre.co.uk for more details and tickets. Click over to see the band in action.
