Scottish folk musician Bert Jansch, a founding member of the band Pentangle and a well-known guitarist in his own right, has died at the age of 67.

Jansch, who had cancer, passed away in the early hours of Wednesday morning at a hospice in Hampstead, north London.

Born in Glasgow in 1943, the musician recorded his first album in 1965 and his last, The Black Swan, in 2006.

Between 1967 and 1973 he was part of acoustic group Pentangle, best known for their 1970 hit single Light Flight.

John Renbourn, Jacqui McShee, Danny Thompson and Terry Cox were the other original members of the band, whose albums included Basket of Light and Solomon’s Seal.

Along with John Renbourn, Bert Jansch was the inspiration that diverted my attention away from what I should have been studying in university – mathematics and philosophy – into playing the guitar.

Here he is playing one of his ingenious arrangements, best known because it was filched by Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page:
