"Cox played a key role in creating Pentangle's unique style, but also worked with a remarkable array of artists, including Charles Aznavour, the Bee Gees, David Bowie and Elton John."
"McShee, now the last surviving member, remembers that Cox just fitted in. He was a great percussionist. I remember the first time he played the drums with his hands. It was perfect, the right tone, the right sound."
"Cox had to help drive the band without swamping the acoustic instruments, and it was there that Renbourn, also a regular on the programme, told Thompson that he and Jansch were starting a band."
Pentangle emerged on 27 May 1967, showcasing a unique blend of jazz, folk, and blues. The band featured notable musicians like Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, and Jacqui McShee. Terry Cox, who recently passed away, was instrumental in shaping their sound and had collaborated with various artists, including David Bowie and Elton John. The band developed their style through performances at the Horseshoe hotel, where Cox's innovative drumming complemented the acoustic instruments, creating a distinctive musical experience.
