Legendary folk musician Bert Jansch lost his battle with cancer today at the age of 67.


One of my favorite guitarists ever, his self titled is a 10/10 album, and his adaptation of Angie is absolutely amazing.

Rest In Peace Bert

anyone stricken down by cancer, is a hero in my mind. They have fought the good fight, and in some ways have won the battle. At least they are free from the pain and suffering that goes along with the dreaded disease. R.I.P. Guitar Man. And my condolences to all that were close to him.

Pentangle deserved more acclaim than it got IMO

Sad to hear that. My favourite of his albums was 'Moonshine' from '73. Great tunes like "The First Time Ever I Saw Her Face", "Twa Corbies", "Yarrow" and "Oh My Father".

I think I'll listen to it right now, and raise a glass to Bert!

He wil be sorely missed the Bert and John Lp on Transatlantic is a classic that anyone into acoustic guitar should own...as well as the whole Pentangle catalogue

He will indeed be sorely missed. A legend and such an influence on many many musicians. His music will live on.
