and with this from Gary Lucas’ Facebook page who say: "Great performance, but the BBC and whoever put this clip together must have been furious with Bert Jansch"
Pentangle - Let No Man Steal Your Thyme (Degrees Of Folk, July 1, 1968)
Bu which I can only guess that as Bert is stage right from the bulk of the others members (sic) the cameraman didn’t feature him?! [I have asked him but yet to get a reply . . . . .]
I blame the cameraman frankly . . the band are just sat where is comfortable I guess and he (Bert) is hardly to blame but the people making the programme are.
We were used to studio cameramen of the time not understanding who was playing what and when and featuring the wrong player, guitar solos featuring the bass player, drum solos featuring the singer etc etc. Quite why anyone would be furious with Jansch is beyond me . . . . but hey . . .enjoy anyhoo!
