In conjunction with the November Celtic feature, we’ll get to music from The Furrow Collective, Robin Williamson with and without The Incredible String Band, the multi-flute band Flook, and supergroup The Gloaming, along with Pentangle, Rhiannon Giddens and Sam Reider.

Global Village marks the birthday of Bert Jansch with a special edition of the show devoted to his music. One of the greats of acoustic guitar and a founding member of the pioneering and eclectic English folk-rock group, Pentangle, Jansch was a key figure and great talent of English folk – a master of not only traditional music, but an adventurous artist who incorporated jazz, world, and blues influences into his work. The program ranges from his very first to later solo recordings, from the original edition of Pentangle to the reunited group, and music he also did with another Pentangle co-founder and acclaimed guitarist, John Renbourn.
Friday, November 4
