John Renbourn
Renbourn is possibly best known for his collaboration with Bert Jansch and his work with Pentangle, but he was an accomplished solo artist before the band’s 1967 birth, and has remained one ever since their 1973 split. His imaginative and complete guitar playing style and his earnest voice have won no end of admirers over the last few decades. Most commonly defined as a folk musician, he takes his influences from early music, classical music, world music, and the blues. Renbourn’s most influential album ‘Sir John Alot’ in 1968 featured his take on songs from the Medieval Era.Having studied classical guitar at school, Renbourn was then influenced by skiffle in the 1960s. In 1961 and 1963 he toured the south-west with Mac MacLeod, and upon their return they recorded a demo together. Although the folk revival was already underway, Renbourn, who had begun studying at the Kingston College of Art, found many clubs biased against him and his guitar-only performance style. How times would change.
Thankfully Camden’s Roundhouse was more tolerant, and there he joined Dorris Henderson, a blues and gospel singer with whom he recorded two albums. In 1966 he and Bert Jansch put out their baroque-folk album ‘Bert and John’. In the 60s Renbourn released several albums of his jazz-blues-folk infused style on Transatlantic records, before forming Pentangle.
Pentangle’s great success, with frequent touring commitments in the US and here, consumed five years of Renbourn’s career. But after their split he recorded more solo albums in the 1970s and 1980s, now showing more traditional and Celtic influences. After returning to university to acquire a degree in composition, Renbourn continues to tour and record now. In 2005 he finished his fifth tour of Japan, and the last few years have seen him pleasing audiences all over America and the UK.
