Another small piece of my heart flew to Heaven today. One of my dearest friends (I met him once, but listened to him a billion times) took it up there. Sleep well, John.
fabcillo You put it perfectly.
Mine fractured as comprehended, but thank you for sharing so gently. I just wanted to hear this, I hadn't heard.
share your thoughts, very well put
fabcillo Music of understated brilliance and uniqueness. He was a creator,not a mimicker.
Met him a few times and was a really nice guy. My ultimate acoustic guitar influence. The best. R.I.P.
We don't have a musical history as rich as yours here in America.You are truly blessed.Ive just recently discovered this music.And I cant get enough...
Ms Vicky But your ancestors took this tradition to America and I can hear echoes of it in a lot of your music.
Miles Davis, the Gershwins, Dave Brubeck, Cole Porter, Ella Fitzgerald, Chic Corea, Charles Ives, Stephen Sondheim, Leonard Bernstein.... just the first few of many names that spring to mind.
昔から愛聴しているジョン・レンボーンの演奏ですが、演奏曲で一番良く聴くのがこのスカーボロ・フェアと靴屋のジョニーです。この演奏を聴いているといつも彼の音楽の世界に浸りきることができます。One for William も大好きな曲です❣️
I was an art-major student at Bakersfield, CA In 1970 when I first heard John Renbourn's album, The Lady and the Unicorn. The instructor would play music in class and put this on the turntable for us to listen. What a great guitarist and musician he was and will be missed.
Sir can you please tell me something about this art. I liked the art and music, where would i get these art?
I first heard him around that time, as well. Although, first I heart the group and went looking for the musicians. My daughter and son and law have kept a turntable, so I"ve given them all my Pentangle, Burt Jansch and John Renbourn albuns. The beat goes on.
@@jenr111 Hallelujah for seminial sonic moments - the circle will Not be broken.
I have just found this version on here, it's beautiful.
We are all here, but a flash in time, but some of us, send out, cosmic waves, of wonderful sound, that reverberates, into infinity...RIP Sir.
Absolutely gutted about the death of John Renbourn. One of the best technical, classical, blues, medieval guitar players and songwriters ever to walk this earth.
I was lucky enough to see him live in 2012 at the Mac theater in Birmingham, right at the front, row A. (I filmed it) ... Blew me away !
RIP to a legend!
A well deserved compliment there. I had breakfast with him last year in Haverhill and saw him play on 10th March last in St Neots in one of his last performances. I had a good chat with him afterwards. There was no genre of music he touched that he did not adorn.
Patrick Clerkin A great story there friend. :)

@@patrickclerkin7874 What can I say you were so fortunate or even blessed to know John. His music and what he did with Pentangle will live for ever!
I saw him with Stephan Grossman perform live at McCabe's Guitar Shop in 1979. It was a musical experience I'll never forget.
I bought the record so many years ago, will never be tired of listen to
It's like I grew up with John hearing so much of his music at the young age of 15. What an influence He and Bert Jansch were. Both gentle Souls are united again.
I share with you the same strong feeling, +Donn
In my writing and playing i hear the influences of many greats but these exceptional men taught me what a guitar real can sound like wow! I have many electric guitars and muck more acoustic still prefer playing acoustic even in Jazz. C7 FLT 5 and Happy Modulations! lol
Gwyllm: Thanks for re-posting this! I was fortunate to have heard John and Bert together @ the Freight and Salvage, Berkeley, CA. Didn't realize Swarbrick was on this cut...heard him once w/ Fairport @ Croperdy, UK. Last night I discovered Swarb and Thompson playing some reels on You Tube...worth sussing out.
Many thanks! Swarb is not in this recording, where John is accompanied by Tony Roberts, flute and Don Harper, viola. He (DS) is on many tracks in side A of the original LP, though.
John Renbourn was an outstanding guitar player. I've loved all his recordings and I wish he had lived longer. I could listen to his music all day long!
This is what music is meant to be. John was a great musician and fortunately with him there were a few more who stayed on the real musical road. In the late 1960s it all seemed to be going great and then came that godforsaken pop music with its glamor and glitter and it has never gotten better with folklore, with our society, our dreams for a better world half a century before it now dawns that the earth is up. Fortunately, I can feed on melodies and original lived-in versions like yours. May you dwell forever in the enchanted garden
Such a beautiful beautiful version of this song. Gives the goosebumps.
Around 1970 ,"The Lady and The Unicorn" brought me back to my roots musically. Thank you, Sir John!
My discovery of the day. Can't get enough of Renbourn's fantastic music.
Don weren't no slouch either
Few bits of music bring tears to my eyes as John's and Bert's. What gifted men! What legacies!
God blessed this man with such talent to come thru with his special sound like no other I have heard..such an inspiration even in my Jazz licks. Long time fan from the 60's
Best version of Scarborough fair by a million miles.
I am totally gutted by the passing of John Renbourn. No one has ever inspired me like he did. A true musical genius, and a legend. I had the pleasure of seeing him perform twice, and I was witness to absolute magik! I met and talked with him on both those occasions. He was a true gent, he even commented on my dragon fly earrings. Such a lovely man.
Rest in Peace John, your music will live on.
Magnifique.
John the enigmatic scintillating hermit continues to light my path. Gratitude abounding
A true masterpiece. So tasteful and beautiful.
Bar none never heard such a version that takes me on a trip to the past....Come travel on this journey with John's beautiful piece along with Flautist Ray Warleigh and friends.........Jazzlaro
SOUL + TALENT from GOD = a gift to be shared and will warm the hearts of millions for centuries to come. Thank You John you play for God now as one of his top musical Angels. You changed my musical direction on my guitar 1966
perhaps one of the best British folk guitarists ever. I still have all his albums. Saw him often with Pentangle.
I met John years ago with Pentangle at the Troubadour in Hollywood. How he was so good then and continued getting better which amazes me till this day. Bert and John reunited in Heaven. Plays with the Angels now....
Such a beautiful version of this wonderful song
Love the way John plays this old tune with VIGOR!!
Tout simplement magique...
absolute phantastic. Magic piece of music.
This is one of the most powerful musical experience for a long time.
I had the great fortune to see him once solo and meet/chat with him after the show. He signed my vinyl copy of his first solo LP (1965). Then I was extremely lucky to attend the Pentangle reunion concert in London in summer 2008. I have all their works on vinyl, both solo and collectively. Majestic stuff. Sad that both John and Burt are now gone.
Beautiful melody.
Tried teaching myself this style of guitar playing back in the 80s. Back then it was known as "Folk-baroque". Listened to music from Davey Graham, Bert Jansch, and Martin Carthy. I think this my favorite arrangement of this song.
Wowww..this song captivated me..totally!!
so sad that john and bert are gone..they sure left a legacy in their music though
+Curtis Taylor Our much loved musicians sadly may go, but their music is eternal
Another great has gone on ahead. The beauty and joy of his music will be sadly missed. Vale John
I will miss your music John
Got it on shiny lovely black vinyl. Well... I am an old git now :-) Nice!
Simply wonderful.
A great version of a timeless classic !
I brought myself up on John Renourne. Beautiful.
Yep
This Music and the Album Are absolutely wonderful
Ethereal and enthralling.
viola and the flute mix in this truely very well. love love Pentangles version to beauty unto its self truely.
John Renbourn is amazing - never got to see him in person though. However, I did manage to see Bert Jansch, Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick - all at The Tower in Winchester in Hampshire, England. Just amazing talent.
Saw him the summer before he died. He was very reluctant to play the gig we are told.
Pre 9991 I booked him twice at the Birminghsm Guitar Club. Is it Ray Warleigh who plays this beautiful flute on this track?
Nice to hear memories of John meeting his public. It is Tony Roberts playing flute here
A beautiful tribute to a great player and arranger
My hat's off to you Sir, rest in peace .
Absolutely precious...
Thank you for posting...
Brilliant!
That was a very enjoyable backdrop to my daily toil.
Just LOVE This piece OF ART!
Oh master! pray thither to Scarborough Fair!
RIP Sir
He took a part of my hope with him.
Great John's guitar, but in the same time GREAT Tony's flute 8)
This version of this tune grows on you. So good!

nice video showing so many of John's album covers. RIP, John.
Love this song very much and what a beautiful album cover!
Such a creative artisic cover!
Wonderful!
John (Renbourn) & Bert (Jansch): My prefer guitarists of the English folk rock music!
Agree!
Hey, you should check my channel. I saw John Renbourn with Wizz Jones two years ago and filmed a couple of songs. Also, I'm a medieval/castle enthusiast. Have a fair few videos of my trips you may enjoy. :)
John Renbourn is amazing - never got to see him in person though. Did manage to see Bert Jansch, Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick - all at the tower in Winchester in Hampshire, England. Just amazing talent.
Jansch was born in Glasgow, Scotland, not far from here.
YES!
RIP John
He has completely influenced my aesthetic as a guitar player.
Me too.
The True Hermit!!!
And the great late Dave Swarbrick on viola
One of the finest interpretations of this classic. And at times sounding like some of the themes Arkenstone composed for WoW :-) - Love it!
Absolutely great video to wonderful music!! :)
A master of the guitar . recordings will live on.
Worked for Transatlantic 1976-78 great back catalogue and then Paul Young and Tourists. Magic Marylebone High St , BBC radio London Hulton Picture library, the Campana and the trad pubs serving White Shield
Handmade music ;-) miss you John :-(
On peut aussi écouter la version de Pierre Bensusan qui est un hommage à John Renbourn
Wonderful, thanks :)
she (Eleonora) said " one of the strongest musical performances for a long time"
Это одно из самых сильных музыкальных впечатлений за долгое время.
🙏🌹🦋
as well as the beautiful music what are the equally beautiful tapestries in the video please?
I will start looking for the one from the album cover The Lady and The Unicorn. I think
Belleza de tema
Escuchar éstas melodías, hacen que mi cuerpo y mente se trasporte a otro lugar. Las imágenes del vídeo son hermosas.
Juan Carlos Martínez Si, a mi me sucede igual, es como recordar un tiempo un tiempo pasado que está en nuestro interior
"Un tiempo pasado que está en en nuestro interior" Eso me remonta a sentir y recordar, esas vivencias que he tenido a lo largo de mi vida, que son tantas que creo que ya me olvide
Aunque he de decir que nosotros como individuos pensamos más en el futuro.
Juan Carlos Martínez Yo creo que algunas personas, quiza no todas o no con tanta intensidad, conservamos un recuerdo ancestral de un pasado o un tiempo de belleza ya perdido, se puede rememorar en canciones, pinturas, cine..en el arte clásico en general
Sin duda alguna. Cómo diría Alex Lora: "porque recordar es vivir y todos queremos vivir más". Pero insisto, cada paso, cada momento, cada decisión, va enfocada a el futuro.
Now I have a very good reason to go to sleep. good night,
aahhh.
Sleep well ??? John Renbourn is dead ??? ooh god no - I wasn't ready.
LISTEN TO BERT AND JOHN BLUES BY THE ARROWS
A gorgeous arrangement. Tony Roberts (flute) is a name I rarely see. He played on the Ship of Folks album, but I've not encountered him elsewhere. Does anyone reading this know what else he's played on?
Tony Robert's was part of the John Renbourn Group, in all their recordings (try A Maid in Bedlam and The Enchanted Garden). He is also playing in some of his solo albums, among which The Black Baloon stands as unmissable piece of music
Makes me cry Edit: when I'm drunk
There is nothing that isn't improved by a flute.
Nice track
☝️😎
Nice piece ... is not a A 440 Hertz ... is somebody can tell how high Hertz is this song ??? Merci
Eleonora, I would greatly appreciate the translation!!!!
Swarb on fiddle 😊
Swarb played on some tracks in Side A of the album. Here you can listen to Don Harper playing the viola. I am not aware of other folk recordings Harper is involved in, but here he is simply superb
👍1975いただきました！
HOPE JOHN CAN MAKE IT OUT WITH CANADA'S TEA PART, LOREENA MCKENNIT, JOHN SOUTHWORTH, JASON & BOWEN MCCONNIE or all of us and maybe jam and record. LOVE
