I saw him live in Glasgow Uni in 85 (I think) and he also done a couple of songs from Prefab Sprouts’ Steve McQueen that he’d just produced - bloody brilliant.

Jimmy Page eat your heart out.
He famously nicked this and turned it into Black Mountain Side for Led Zep.
Jansch was taught this tune by Anne Briggs who he carried a torch for.
I always thought that the song sits better sung by a female and her version on her album ‘Anne Briggs’ is wonderful.
At the time a lot of people thought she had got it from Jansch as he recorded it on Black Orion (1966) whereas Anne Briggs rarely recorded anything and her album came out in 1971.
It’s a trad song probably hailing from N. Ireland. Jansch may have adapted it slightly, apparently there are 564 versions of the Song! although it was popularized by a BBC Archive recording of an Irish Traveller, Mary Doran[3] recorded by Peter Kennedy and Sean O’Boyle on either the 24th of July or the 1st of August 1952
Indeed.
Briggs learnt it from Doran and then taught it to Jansch, things get changed along the way as is normal with folk songs.
Anne Briggs spent some time with the travelling community in Ireland as was known as a bit of a ‘free spirit’ She is said to be the inspiration behind the song Beeswing by Richard Thompson
Isla Cameron’s version was released in 62 on Folkways

Great quote from an interview with Toni Braxton
“I regret not having more sex when I was younger. I should have drank more. I should have partied more. Smoked more, even. I think my religious upbringing stopped me doing a lot of things that I should have done. It’s not a good look at the age I am now. The way it works is you do that stuff in your 20s and 30s and then in your 40s you’ve earned enough to pay for the therapy.”
