Discovered this documentary the other day on the legendary guitar player Burt Jansch.
It was filmed in the early 90's and narrated by Billy Connolly, who gives a humourous take on Bert's career development by noting how the home interiors on the latters album covers became progressively more opulent as the years went by.
The film is done in a semi fly on the wall style with Jansch talking about his influences and visting some of the old 60's folk clubs in London with John Renbourne.
Davy Graham, Martin Carthy and Ralph McTell are amongst the other talking heads who ressurect the wandering folk minstrel vibe of the 60's beatnik scene in all its earnest, black turtleneck glory.
It inspired me to have another bash at learning that fingerpicking classic 'Anji' or 'Angie' - Unfortunately I couldn't get past the first 4 bars as usual, but I might invest in a couple of turtleneck sweaters from e-bay as a mark of respect.
