Guitarist John Renbourn was one of the fathers of contemporary British folk music and was one of the finest fingerstyle players in the world. A founder of the seminal group Pentangle, John's music fused British and Celtic folk with blues, jazz, British early music, classic guitar and Eastern styles.

In 1964, he began studying classical guitar at the George Abbot School in Guildford. Two years later he was playing folk music in Soho where he met many other musicians, including Paul Simon, Davey Graham and most importantly, Bert Jansch. In 1967 the two founded Pentangle and remained together through 1978. Renbourn, as with the other group members, continued to release solo albums. He formed the John Renbourn Group in the 1980s. Around the mid-1980s, he teamed up with Stefan Grossman. They toured together for the next 15 years and recorded four albums together.
