Northern music lovers are in for a real treat when Jacqui McShee's Pentangle presents an all-new show at The Eastgate Theatre on Sunday 7 September.
The concert features the current line-up with Jacqui McShee on vocals, Gerry Conway on drums and percussion, Spencer Cozens on keyboards, Alan Thompson on bass, and Gary Foot on saxophone and flute.
As a bonus, the evening will feature an opening slot by singer/songwriter David Hughes.
Jacqui is in the news: the original 1960s Pentangle line-up staged its fortieth anniversary tour this year, a reunion which attracted much media coverage for Jacqui with appearances on television and rave reviews in the music press and national newspapers.
Now Jacqui is touring with her own band presenting an evening of musical magic. As well as a selection of songs first recorded with the original line-up, Jacqui McShee's Pentangle plays a mixture of new self-penned songs, traditional numbers and jazz standards.
Jacqui is looking forward to being back on the road. "I'm really pleased we are playing at The Eastgate Theatre” she says. “I've always loved doing shows in the north; the audience is particularly warm and appreciative and we've had some great times in the Borders."
Although Jacqui McShee's Pentangle has been labelled 'jazz-folk' the music defies pigeonholing and the concert's wide-ranging repertoire will appeal to most musical tastes. The band's current line-up makes groundbreaking music and, just like the original group, Jacqui's unique voice is always to the fore.
