this 90 minute video captures thirty years of misic by the brilliant john renbourn. it follows him from the legendary london basement club 'les cousins' to his work with bert jansch and their group pentangle to his traditional / medieval adventures with the john renbourne group and to his duet performances with stefan grossman. as well as playing with others, john has also constantly been touring solo. this video chronicles his evolving growth as one of today's foremost acoustic guitar masters.
