In the 1970s, Renaissance had a commercially successful career, their sound similar in many ways to folk rock with classical overtones. The band reformed in 2000 to record the Tuscany album and played one concert at the Astoria in London before embarking on a short Japanese tour.  Terry is currently writing and recording his own album with contributions from his great friends, including the former Renaissance pianist John Tout and lyricist Betty (Thatcher) Newsinger for the forthcoming album South Of Winter.
