" 26 March 2015 Influential folk guitarist John Renbourn has died aged 70. The musician was found at his home in Hawick in the Scottish Borders today after a suspected heart attack. Renbourn teamed up with fellow musicians, including guitarist Bert Jansch who died in 2011, to form Pentangle who were a critical and - to some extent - a commercial success towards the end of the 1960s. His manager, Dave Smith, said Renbourn was "a huge character". He said: "He was always playing and teaching. That is what he loved doing and he never stopped." Among those paying tributes to London-born Renbourn were DJ Cerys Matthews who said: "So sorry and sad to hear of John Renbourn's passing. A loving, lovely man. RIP John, it was an honour and pleasure meeting you." Novelist Ian Rankin tweeted: "Ach, and now John Renbourn has died. What a guitarist ..." He leaves two sons and a daughter." http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/news/guitarist-renbourn-dies-aged-70-31097652.html Respect and shared loss to John's family. Thank you all for sharing him with the rest of us. Maeve
