The more I think about it the more fantastic the Pentangle evening was. It was a shame Jacqui McShee choose to open with "The Time has Come" as she had problems reaching some of the high notes. Fortunately she got better as the evening went on and the other material didn't challenge those heights! Danny Thompson's playing was fantastic and his expressions and humour were marvelous. His bass "Victoria" was made in 1865 so it is 143 years old.

At 71 Terry Cox was the second oldest thing on stage! However, like Danny his playing has improved over the years and his cameo pieces were a joy to behold. Bert Jancsh has aged considerably but his voice is just as distinctive as ever and his playing has lost none of its touch.

John Renbourn had a quiet evening and I was disappointed that the band didn't do his wonderful Lord Franklin. However, like all the guys he looked very relaxed and appeared to enjoy the evening.

For those of you who aren't into Pentagle here they are doing some of their stuff back in the 70's
