Editorial Reviews
Live at the 12 Bar was recorded in 1995 at the legendary London music venue and is a fitting tribute not only to Bert's virtuosity but to this renowned hub for folk music and other genres. Bert's meticulous performance brings together songs from When The Circus Comes To Town, released in the same year, along with the haunting reworking of 'Blues Run The Game' (written by Earth's own Jackson C. Frank) and traditional folk songs 'Curragh Of Kildare' and 'Lily Of The West' which were staples in Jansch's repertoire. Live at the 12 Bar captures an intimate gig that's richly brought to life by his spellbinding ability to hold a room. The warmth and reverent silence from fans reminds us of what it was like to attend his shows and the true legend that we have lost. Two decades after it's first release, Live At The 12 Bar is issued for the first time on vinyl. This exceptional record is the first release in Earth Recordings' new extensive reissue series of Bert Jansch catalog. Inspiring generations of musicians, Scottish guitarist and songwriter Bert Jansch will be forever known as a remarkable talent and a leading figure in the British folk revival. He came to prominence in the 1960s becoming widely known for his exemplary guitar technique and innovative blend of Folk, Blues and Jazz. Later he became a founding member of folk supergroup Pentangle before returning to his solo career. Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Donovan and Johnny Marr have long been fans. Reaching people far and wide, Bert deservedly received many accolades for his contributions to music including the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Radio 2 Folk Awards and a MOJO Merit Award.

This 54+ minutes live set from 1995 has Jansch singing in several styles--folk, Celtic, blues, plus an instrumental. There's a slight bit of chatter between tunes but nothing annoying. Recorded at the12 Bar Club in London during that summer the sound is very good--this album was transferred from the original DAT tape of the concerts during Jansch's residency.
If you've only heard Jansch's earlier work, this may be an eye-opener. He's in good form here with songs like "Summer Heat", "Come Back Baby", "Blackwaterside" (sic), "Blues Run The Game" (a folk standard written and performed by Jackson C. Frank, whose recorded works have just been issued as 3 CD release on the Ba Da Bing label), which has become a much recorded/played tune, so if you're into '60s/'70s folk give Frank a listen. Plus his guitar work is always good/stellar--listen to "Bett's Dance" for slice of his instrumental work, plus his playing on the vocal pieces here fits his vocals nicely.
There's no booklet just recording information on the back of the cardboard packaging. The disc slips inside a paper envelope for protection. But for fans of Jansch this is a welcome reissue of this great set of songs nicely performed and recorded. And if Jansch is new to you check out his solo albums and his work with Pentangle--one of the best folk/blues groups from the late '60s. Plus his work with another folk musician (also in Pentangle), John Renbourn, is well worth adding to your folk shelf.

Un live fantastique de Bert Jansch enregistré at the 12 Bar en 1995.
Cet album est une excellente porte d’entrée pour ceux qui ne connaîtraient pas cet immense guitariste, un des plus important de la scène folk des années 60 et 70..
Un set intimiste qui mêle anciennes et nouvelles compositions. On est subjugué par son jeux de guitare où la technicité est toujours au service de l’émotion et de la mélodie.
Magnifique.
