Anna Massie explores the life and music of Bert Jansch with writer Colin Harper.

Writer Colin Harper joins Anna to explore the life and music of Bert Jansch through previously unreleased recordings of his appearances on the BBC.

Bert Jansch was the very essence of folk music, providing inspiration for everyone from Paul Simon and Neil Young to Led Zeppelin and countless folk revivalists. Bert At the BBC is a comprehensive collection of Jansch’s appearances at the BBC, featuring over eight hours of rare and unreleased recordings, including live-on-air spots, studio sessions and full concerts straight from the BBC vaults, delving further into this legendary performer’s canon. 

The set is compiled by Colin Harper, author of Dazzling Stranger: Bert Jansch and the British folk and blues revival. Colin joins Anna in conversation about the life and music of one of the most important figures in contemporary British folk.
