ABOUT US
"One of the best female ballad singers ever."
Rooted in the ethos of the original Pentangle, the present-day incarnation features leading contemporary musicians interpreting the original songs in diverse ways. The current line-up, with Pentangle vocalist Jacqui McShee, features long-standing band members Spencer Cozens, Alan Thomson and Martin Winnings, with Pascal Consoli on drums.
Pentangle founder member Jacqui McShee is the unbroken link to the first days of the original band. Subsequent line-ups have always featured her unmistakeable voice and feel.
The original Pentangle played such stellar gigs as the Isle-of-Wight festivals (1969 & 1970), Newport Folk Festival, Fillmore East and West, Carnegie Hall and The Royal Festival Hall. Going way beyond traditional folk, they created a new music rooted in jazz, folk and blues. It was no surprise that Pentangle were billed alongside greats such as Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, The Grateful Dead, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and The Band. Pentangle forged a whole new era in folk.
Jacqui McShee’s Pentangle continues to refine and re-interpret the material, constantly amazing and delighting audiences at gigs and festivals all over the UK and Europe.
"After all these years, Jacqui still has the sweetest voice in British folk music."
