  1. Jacqui McShee of Pentangle tells Cerys Matthews on her BBC 6 Music radio show that the reason she never dabbled in drugs during the 60s was "I was on tour with 6 other guys and the roadies, a girl has to keep sharp in that situation!"

    She wasn't wrong, was she? 😬

  3. Whoa. I’m a big #Pentangle fan too but I can’t but bow before this avowal of love and indeed, awakening:

    ' These songs, stories and customs seemed to emanate from a very different kind of #Britain to the one invoked by anthems such as Rule, Britannia! or by the union jack. They had little to do with monarchy, military or empire; instead they conjured a vision of Britain that was enchanted, subversive and strange: a Britain I felt I could belong to. '

  4. oh my! i just learned that danny thompson has died several months ago, in september last year.
    ever since i had discovered the british folk band Pentangle as a teenager in the early 80s i adored his bass playing. it was only later that i learnded about his name: Danny Thompson. and i noticed he had made a lot of great music afterwards, after pentangle.

    86 is a good age. but still, i will miss his music ...

  5. Last one tonight. I’ll get to Bert Jansch tomorrow, but until then Pentangle will play us into dinner time. This one was in dire need of a clean, very dusty for some reason. #vinyl #Pentangle #xp

  13. The next album SpaceAce submitted to this project is the fourth studio album from Pentangle, number 486 in The List.

    I would’ve liked to know what SpaceAce’s thoughts on this one were. To me, from a single listen, the music itself doesn’t stand out from the previous British folk/folk rock albums that he submitted to The List – it features traditional folk songs, Jacqui McShee’s beautiful vocals sound rather familiar, etc. What I would like to know is whether the fact that the final track (“Jack Orion”) takes up the entire second side of the album was thought to be strange or controversial at the time. According to Wikipedia, Cruel Sister was a commercial disaster. Was it because of “Jack Orion” in particular? Was there a backlash for straying into the prog lane, akin to Dylan going electric? Did they play the entire 18 minutes and 36 seconds of “Jack Orion” in live performances? At any rate, it couldn’t have hurt the band too much in the end, as they continued to put out albums (including a number of reissues/remasters of Cruel Sister) and still exist today.

    In memory of our dearly missed friend, let’s raise a glass and take a listen together.
