Bert Jansch Discography


Some screenshots from the BBC4 broadcast of the concert at LSO St Luke's Church in Old Street on Bert's 60th birthday

Bert Jansch was a hugely influential artist in the early sixties. Inspired by Davy Graham he almost single handedly invented a new genre of music. Considered by some to be the British equivalent of Bob Dylan, he was credited as an influence on 'Buffalo Springfield Again'. His version of Blackwaterside turned up on a Led Zeppelin album. His Needle of Death was reworked by Neil Young as Ambulance Blues and Donovan recorded a number of his songs. Jansch went on to become a founder member of Pentangle.

He was given a lifetime achievement award at the 2001 BBC Folk Awards and continues to record solo albums.
