the one good thing the internet is good for. discovering art from all around the planet. very glad to have saw this. it just feels right. thanks from Missouri.
essential judge - you are so right!! I have discovered so many amazing artists via TH-cam - and rediscovered others. to give an example of how artists who are linked (without my knowledge) have come to my ears - I searched for a guy I saw live at a small venue years ago in Sidmouth Devon - Peter Bruntnell - and Richard Thompson's daughter Kami came up. What?? I thought: here she is with a new band The Dead Flamingos - a duo - with her fiance. Turns out that this guy (now her husband) is James Walbourne - lead guitarist with the Pretenders and Peter Bruntnell's old lead guitarist - what a small world!!!
She looks like Charlotte Gaisbourg. Same faintly mad intensity around the eyes. Annie has held up marvellously. This music does not beat up your voice with the years, it carries your sound to meet with your years.
I will never forget the dark October night back in 2011 that he passed away. I remember it like it was yesterday, when I got the sad news I cried like a baby. Before that I don't think I'd cried since childhood and I don't think I have since, not even when my Mother passed away. I went out and drove around all night in the dark, I had a pickup truck at the time, I drove around the quiet countryside roads all through the night just listening to his albums. Bert's music always meant so much to me and much of what I learned about his life mirrored my own in ways. He really struck a chord with me, pun intended! I was quite late to his music quite late, during my early teenage years in some old English guitar magazine, I read an article about him and it just went from there. I bought everything I could find of him. I used to take the train to the city on my own on Saturdays just to spend the day trying out guitars in the guitar shops and looking for Bert Jansch stuff in the record/CD stores. Now it's all changed.. a few clicks you can get whatever you want. I think I was the last generation to experience that joy of finding an album in a store.. something you just couldn't wait to hear. Nowadays, while I'm no longer young, and fastly approaching forty, however my love for Bert's music is as great as ever, and I consider him my favourite acoustic guitarist of all time, by far. Of course, I love a lot of guys like Davy Graham, Dick Gaughan, Jackson C Frank, John Renbourne.. I appreciate them all but Bert always was my guy. He was always "my thing", I often tried to introduce my friends to him, but he never clicked with them like he did with me. They just couldn't appreciate his genius like I could. I find he is like that, under appreciated, somewhat of a cult guitarist, in a sense, and it takes a certain kind of person to appreciate Bert's greatness. I always know when someone loves Bert they must have great taste and knowledge of music.
@@Sinnerboy88 Bert Jansch est un des plus grand et important song writer qu'ait révélé la musique anglaise. A 75 ans je l'écoute toujours avec émotion. So long!
I’ve always loved Ann, recently got her LP and can’t praise enough. Such a beautiful voice and I love that it’s not wasted on throw away pop but gently played in harmony with the beautiful songs of days gone by. She is an angel. The first time I heard this recording I was blown away by how, even though she’s aged, her voice has remained to be so remarkably pure and magical. And Bert’s guitar playing too is phenomenal, never falters. This is a truly breathtaking performance from two legends. Can’t express my love in words
I so wish I'd have met this song as a young boy... I could've been listening to it my whole life! HA!!! Just gorgeous... Blessing to you Bert. See you on the other side.
Holy s&%t it's Anne! What a wonderful surprise! I thought she gave up singing back in the 70's! God, what a voice. THANK You for sharing. (and Berts always a pleasure to hear too)
Boy, talk about the influence Jansch had on Jimmy Page. Actually for an old geezer like me, I knew of Fairport Convention (1968), Pentangle, and John Renbourn and Sandy Denny just as Zeppelin came out.
@@nn-ro1lv Jimmy Page, well known for hijacking a tune, claiming it as his own. These are traditional songs. Everyone knows Page was Not honest in that way.
What a combination "of the two!" After many years (decades) of focusing on Renbournj I'm rediscovering the genius of Bert Jansch. Hard to believe neither one got the attention they should have received in America, but luckily there's lots of audio video to ingest and...Anne Briggs is a real light. Thanks for the trip.
Great that somebody mentions Hamish Imlach.Bert Jansch said that Hamish was the first folk singer hed seen perform.Hamish helped John Martyn and sang black is the colour to Christy Moore.Only heard about all the folkies mentioned on here in the last year or so.Kinda undergroundish musical style but should really be mainstream.Two weeks to xmas.thank folk for that
They say her beauty is faded now/Hard living and hard booze/But maybe that's just the price you pay/For the chains you refuse/She was a rare thing, as fine as a beeswing.

An perfect gem on an an unknowable crown... (go forth love, hope and passion) Lyrics: One evening fair to take the air Down by Blackwaterside 'Twas a-gazing all around me That the Irish lad I spied All through the far part of the night We did lie in sport and play When this young man arose and gathered his clothes Saying, "Fare thee well today" That's not the promise that you gave to me When you lay on my breast You could make me believe with your lying words That the sun rose in the west Go home, go home to your father's garden Go home and weep your fill And think on your own misfortune You brought on with your want and will For there's not a girl in this whole wide world As easily led as I And when fishes can fly and the seas run dry It is then that you'll marry I It is then that you'll marry I G~
Superb, as you'd expect, of course. My usual gripe about dozy camera work - Bert is producing a solo which is a work of high art and what do we see? Anne (lovely as she is) nodding away and digging it, but not Bert playing...
Never thought I'd see these two great humans together.
Two legends that all the world deserves to know.
As beautiful as can be just love Anne's voice like a Nightingale or a morning blackbird song thank you❤
Great to see that Anne still has that exceptional ability not just to sing, but to draw you into a story - so rare today !

She's amazing. And to think most of the nation doesn't realise it. Misplaced values in a human community that's lost its way.
❤ Two beautiful souls
Two geniuses at work.
I first heard this song by Bert when I was 22 in 1967.
It verily changed my life.
Beyond my words beautiful!
I still play both the live and studio versions often, every week, and enjoy them immensely. ----The ones by Bert, to be clear.
Beautiful!!!
She looks like Charlotte Gaisbourg. Same faintly mad intensity around the eyes. Annie has held up marvellously. This music does not beat up your voice with the years, it carries your sound to meet with your years.
This is not recent.
The video is probably from 20 years ago. Bert Jansch died 9 years ago.
Nah, beauty is eternal. They both have it still.
Im mesmerised by watching Berts fingers Glide around the fret board...and Anne's voice..just wonderful
Anne Briggs?? Same lovely, authentic voice and, I dare say, she looks more beautiful than ever. These guys are the real deal, no?
0:41 what a beautiful mistake
i dare say, ur right. those fine lines enhance her beauty.
Yes, they are.
She is the White Goddess--Maiden, Mother, Hag all in one and One in all. How I adore her!
Voice of pain love and truth.
It speaks for itself. Bert is Bert and Anni is a top lass.
This is the first video of Anne Briggs singing that I've ever seen. Wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing it.
Same here, and isn't it sublime?
Perfect singing and playing
❤
How beautiful they are both! Love them. Unfortunatly we can not see Bert's fingers all the time to see how this magic comes
the fall into death of Bert Jansch has hit me like a large stone. He was a genius.
There will never be another Bert Jansch he was the real deal really miss him. 🥲
@@magicdave93 agreed. I discovered him late bu5 thank God I discovered him, Pentangle et at all

Wonderful!
And Anne will always be beautiful.
Can never tire of Anne's singing

Who is Jimmy page? Sorry never heard of him. Not in the same league as these two.
we are graced by Masters!
What a beautiful voice, and great guitar from Bert Jansch
voice still marvelous here
Amazingly beautiful...
Just hearing this after only being aware on jimmy page's version. Wow this is best version so far.
Altan does this: Blackwater.
Ah she still looks like herself. And still sounds amazing.

You can lay flowers on Berts grave in Highgate Cemetery. Too many ciggies got him I believe. Such talented people
Wish every folk performance video was filmed like the first 12 seconds of this one
what an absolute gem .
What a powerhouse he was!
One year hence - still fantastic.
hauntingly beautiful
Pure. I love this.
Shivers down my spine from this song ,excellent 🏵
What a treasure!! Loving the old time sound of this.
Leaves me breathless. Truly magical.

Anne Briggs has an interesting sense of pitch. It's not so much off as "tempered." I like it.
She is so beautiful in every way.
Ancient tunes
Thank you for posting up this..First time I have seen this clip, Bert playing fantastic and Anne's voice so natural..Magnificent.
the peerless anne briggs
I gotta hand it to ya - your "name" is HYSTERICAL
Shivers. Amazing.
They say her beauty is faded now/Hard living and hard booze/But maybe that's just the price you pay/For the chains you refuse/She was a rare thing, as fine as a beeswing.
Wonderful verse from a wonderful song by a wonderful songwriter about a wonderful woman.
I don’t get it
@@dickjohnson1158 Lyrics from Richard Thompson's lovely song "Beeswing" reputedly about the bittersweet life of Anne Briggs. :)
Balls. She IS beautiful!
Just in a different way now.
Heard her on BBC Radio 4 Extra. Superb singer and extraordinary recluse.
A enthralling performance. Wow.
OMFG! This is terribly, beautifully, wonderfully, amazingly delicious!!! I am going to have to eat this for a week.
Simply amazing.
Very touching for me! Its like a very rare wild fllower that grows far away!!!
+ADAMPAPADAM What a Great comment!
(and how i feel as well.)
Absolutely marvellous !
My God this is so beautiful. I hope to learn to play this one, although I will never match Bert's performance.
Beautiful.... Now I'm on the hunt for her albums.....
I just bought her two first albums from Fopps in central London, absolutely brilliant.
check out Davey Graham’s acoustic wizardry as well if you haven’t already. I believe they collaborated. I know him and Bert did
@@anastasiapattison4393 OK I will, thank you 😊

Two of the best ever..by any and all metrics…
Ah Anne! Where have you been all of these years?
this is gold for the simple fact you can see janschs hands perfectly
Dear Bert; Wonderful.
what an amazing guitarist. too bad he isn't still around.
To think most people don’t realise how she inspired a generation of American folk singers
first time that I heard you today on 4 absolutely brilliant
Simply beautiful
Superb!!!!
Brilliant, seductive, enchanting, haunting. Loaned to Jimmy Page, but still the best
Crusty Cobs they didn’t loan anything, Page just took it.
Just coming around to this & her. I think I'll sit a spell & listen.
So wonderful.
RIP Bert Jansch! You were and always will be head & shoulders above jimmy poser page.
+hounddig Hahaha! ...and eric poser clapton!
(but not Peter Green.)
Love Bert, yet Jimmy live during 1st record was on fire! and he was very kind and generous!
Can you play better? Thought so...
disparaging others is not a compliment to anyone.
Thieving magpie yes. Poser? No, he is a skilled guitarist actually.
@@j0eX Jimmy is a truly great all-around musician & producer; only jealous clowns deny it. But yes, he should've given more credit where it was due.

Voices of...
Annie Briggs
An intimate portrait of the iconic but elusive English folk-singer Annie Briggs.
Thanks for that lead. I just went and listened to the program--how truly beautiful her voice is.
I saw him play in london 1995 it was my first concert by myself, I think after that I listened to this song non stop for 6 months
That opening camera angle is great for guitarists
Mesmerising
Ah the closed eyes and the hand on the ear. Reminds me of the 70's folk clubs. It was all so pretentious. Back in Dublin.
バートが歌ってるメロディとアンが歌うメロディって全然違うように聞こえたから
この動画見つけたときにどんな曲になってんのか想像つかなかった
バートの曲とアンの曲が上手く融合されてる
Me encantó su voz!! 😍
Wonderful. And I think she looks pretty good too, for having had a rough life (by choice, it's said. good for her)
Wow - just...WOW!
Fabulοus!
Quite brilliant
You just saved me a ticket to Ireland, I am there.
Good to see her!
LEGEND. RIP BERT
amazing :)
Wonderful.
Soulful!!
Wow. Didn't know such footage existed.
Legendary Woman
Powerfullllllll !!!
Anne is the best.
An perfect gem on an an unknowable crown... (go forth love, hope and passion)
Lyrics:
One evening fair to take the air
Down by Blackwaterside
'Twas a-gazing all around me
That the Irish lad I spied
All through the far part of the night
We did lie in sport and play
When this young man arose and gathered his clothes
Saying, "Fare thee well today"
That's not the promise that you gave to me
When you lay on my breast
You could make me believe with your lying words
That the sun rose in the west
Go home, go home to your father's garden
Go home and weep your fill
And think on your own misfortune
You brought on with your want and will
For there's not a girl in this whole wide world
As easily led as I
And when fishes can fly and the seas run dry
It is then that you'll marry I
It is then that you'll marry I
G~
