More sad news of another great musician passing. This time the great John Renbourn passed away aged 70. Great guitarist, most will know him from Pentangle, John and Bert Jansch were the guitarists.

Tell me about it, Dave. I'm just back from Bangor, where he was due to play tonight in the Britannia Hotel with Wizz Jones, and only found out when a friend and I arrived that the gig had been cancelled because John had died.....

Sad news indeed, and another major loss to the music world.

A loss indeed - had I not been otherwise disposed, I would have gone along to the gig. I saw him many years ago playing with Pentangle, along with with Bert Jansch.
Very sad news indeed.

I loved his work and skills. The solo work I most come back to is sir-john-alot, which sounds fresh despite its great age, which says a lot. What later work could be recommended for tonight's memorial listening session?
