Pentangle Founder John Renbourn Dead At 70


. (Prog) Pentangle founder John Renbourn has died at the age of 70. His body was found Thursday morning at home in Hawick, Scotland, after he missed a concert in Glasgow Wednesday night. It's suspected he suffered a heart attack.

Renbourn began his career as a solo artist before starting work with Bert Jansch in 1963. They put Pentangle together four years later along with Jacqui McShee, Danny Thompson and Terry Cox.

His manager, Dave Smith, said: "John was larger than life - game for anything. He was just finishing off a tour with Wizz Jones and looking forward to the next. He was always running weekend workshops all over Europe." Read more here.
