Formerly with original Pentangle, folk supergroup of late 60's and early 70's, and some fine solo albums within and thereafter; collaborated with many fine name musicians of his era along the way. Write-up in U.K. Guardian, worth the read:

Singing and playing traditional "Willy O'Winsbury" from fine 1971 folk and blues solo lp, "Faro Annie""
