John Molineux
John Molineux has been played on NTS shows including The Early Bird Show w/ PAM, with Rosemary Lane first played on 17 April 2025.
John Molineux (born in Los Angeles, CA, in 1947) is an American-born French folk musician and instrument-maker. He was a member of The John Renbourn Group.
Molineux moved with his parents to Vancouver prior to the family taking the boat from Montreal to Liverpool in 1950. Though they moved around a bit, the family was living in the Birmingham area at the time he first became interested in traditional folk music at the age of 17.
His initial love was acapella singing. He subsequently learnt to play guitar, mandolin, fiddle and whistle.
Molineux accepted an offer to do a tour of Brittany and Germany accompanying the Cornish singer Brenda Wooton.
He moved to Brittany in late 1976.
In 1978 Molineux travelled to Bath to record his first album "Douce Amere" with producer David Lord.
He played with The John Renbourn Group for four years, recording two albums with him, one of them a double live album recorded in America.
In 1985 Molineux recorded another album, "Spice of Life", featuring contributions from the great Breton guitarist Dan ar Braz.
