Herbert Jansch (b. 3rd November 1943 - d. 5th October 2011), commonly known as Bert Jansch, was a Scottish folk musician and founding member of the band The Pentangle. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland and, particularly in his early career, was sometimes characterised as a British Bob Dylan. This, however, was misleading, in that Jansch's best work has always been fundamentally musically-driven, unlike Dylan's, which is more lyrically-based.
