The original 1960s line-up of Pentangle will perform an anniversary concert in London's Royal Festival Hall next summer.

The band features founding members Jacqui McShee (vocals), Bert Jansch (guitar), John Renbourn (guitar), Danny Thompson (bass) and Terry Cox (drums).

The concert will take place on 29 June 2008, forty years to the day after Pentangle recorded the live album Sweet Child at the venue.

Pentangle's influence and musical impact remains strong. In February this year the five-piece reunited for a special performance at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards where they were presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award by Sir David Attenborough. A lavish and definitive four CD box set, The Time Has Come, was released in March.

Sunday 29 June 2008, Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre, Belvedere Road, London SE1 8XX.

Doors 7.00pm.

Tickets (£30/£25/£15) go on sale at 10.00am on Thursday 8 November from the Southbank Centre Ticket Office on 0871 663 2500 or www.southbankcentre.co.uk. (Transaction fees apply except for Southbank Centre members).
