Vic King from Vaguely Sunny has been in touch to let us know about a gig planned for next month at the wonderful Farringford Hotel over in West Wight.
Vaguely Sunny Promotions in association with The Farringford Hotel, are staging a concert at the Farringford Hotel, Freshwater featuring John Renbourn and Robin Williamson.
Luminary acoustic guitarist and songwriter John Renbourn is best known for his collaboration with Bert Jansch.
He also enjoyed great success with the folk/jazz fusion band Pentangle with whom he appeared at both the 1969 and 1970 Isle of Wight Festivals.
John last played on the Island in 2001 when he performed a solo gig at Quay Arts – the closing concert of the Newport Folk Weekend that year.
Scottish multi-instrumentalist, musician, singer, songwriter and master Celtic storyteller Robin Williamson made his name as a member of the Incredible String Band between 1966 and 1974.
During that time the band were one of the most popular and influential groups of the era. This will be Robin’s first appearance on the Isle of Wight.
John and Robin will be performing both their own solo material at the concert as well as playing as a duo.
Their live album ‘wheel Of Fortune’ which was released in 1995 was nominated for a Grammy, as was the Incredible String Band’s 1968 album ‘Hangman’s Beautiful Daughter’.
Tickets for the concert (unreserved seating) are £15.00 each to include a drink and a programme. They can be booked from Farringford by phoning 752500 or from Crafty Caulkhead, Royal Victoria Arcade, Ryde or Waterstone’s, Newport.
