I am moved by the different ages of the voices I hear in his work. Has it helped you through hard times, to understand your own art, etc? What has Bert's music meant to you in the context of your own life? Do you listen to it a lot, has it soundtracked any particular times for you? Please elaborate, if so. It felt like the fault line between folk and rock. And what struck me was the attitude as much as anything - the bluntness mixed with dexterity. It was only when working with Bernard for the first time in 2013 and heard about his time with Bert, that I decided to take a proper look. He steered me more towards people like Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, Louis Stewart. I think I thought he was going to be 'too folk’, whatever that means. When did you first discover Bert's music? What song/record was it, and what effect did it have on you?Īlthough I heard guitarists like Nick Drake, Davy Graham and John Martyn in my teens in the late 70s - guitarists who very much influenced my style - Bert Jansch was a closed book and remained so for many years.

This is a non-commercial, non-profit mix. Mixed by Ben Watt with additional space echo, found sounds and field recordings. I chose songs and field recordings that all deal with winter and the Christmas season - a period of reflection and loss but also coming together and regeneration. It inspired me to make this latest Deep Folk Mixtape. I stumbled across a recording of a weather report from the Burns’ Day storm of 1990 during which more than ninety people lost their lives.
