Obituary
LONDON (AP) - A representative of Bert Jansch says the legendary folk guitarist has died in London after a long battle with lung cancer. He was 67.
Spokesman Mick Houghton said Wednesday that Jansch died early Wednesday morning at the Marie Curie Hospice in north London.
He says Jansch had been hospitalized for nearly seven weeks. He was diagnosed with cancer more than two years ago.
Jansch was a founding member of the British folk group Pentangle and had inspired a generation of rock and folk guitarists with his acoustic mastery. He enjoyed a long solo career and also performed in early August with the recently reformed Pentangle.
Houghton says his final solo performances were opening for Canadian rocker Neil Young earlier this year.

Bert's music has touched my soul for 45 years and I'm the poorer for his passing. His songs and guitar reflected so much of my feeling and gave it expression. Without ever having met him, he enriched my life immeasurably. Bert may be gone but his wonderful music lives on.

I play the guitar every day thanks to Bert. It is a vital part of my life and wouldn't be so without Bert's inspiration. Thank-you for enriching my life.

After buying Bert's album in the late sixties I have bought all his recordings and followed his music ever since. I feel so privileged to have seen him so many times on the folk scene and remember too well Les Cousins et al. That unique beautiful voice. What a legacy he has left and will never never be forgotten. A truly sad time for us all.

Bert was a truly unique and inspirational guitarist and writer .I would like to leave the following words from a song called 'No more My Lord' that Pentangle performed brilliantly..."Jesus,He is the one, He's the one I'm looking for...and I'll never turn back no more"God Bless.
