Just over a week from now on Monday 1 August, Royal Festival Hall will once again play host to one of folk music’s most influential bands – Pentangle. 43 years ago, the band recorded the live disc of their seminal album Sweet Child here, so the venue has a warm place in the hearts of Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Jacqui McShee, Danny Thompson and Terry Cox, the original line-up who are back together for this special show.
Pentnagle recently performed at Glastonbury for the very first time in a career spanning longer than the history of the festival itself! They dropped in to speak to Lauren Laverne on her BBC 6Music show. Upon mentioning the Royal Festival Hall show, Lauren couldn’t hide her excitement!
Watch the interview in full below:
