    Never heard this one before. Beautiful, in a 6 /4 timing. Short and sweet. The Pentangle deliver as always ✌🏼 ❤️ 🎶

      I believe it was on Bert Jansch Conundrum (the band) album "Thirteen Down", with Jacqui guesting on it.

      They always deliver!! Nerd comment alert, and not trying to correct just food for thought - 6/4 is definitely not wrong per se, but some musicians (including me) would feel this as fast 9/8 rather than slow 6/4. When there's three 8th notes to the beat, we usually subdivide by the 8th rather than the quarter. But, whatever man, it's semantics. I mostly just feel lucky we have such a great performance preserved in such excellent quality!!

    The song If I Had A Love is from Bert Jansch Conundrum's album Thirteen Down - wonderful

  • @ingegerdnissenpetersen3215

    Bert was a great fan of Swedish jazz musician Jan Johansson who transformed/modernized traditional Swedish folk songs

    As a Swedish Pentangle fans i' m proud. You can connect the song to Bert but the melody is Swedish folk. "Visa från Rättvik" Dalarna. Ballad from Rättvik in English. It can be found on Jan Johansson' s famous album "Jazz på svenska"/"Jazz In Swedish" from the sixties. Bert' s and John' s guitar work is fine here... and Jacqui' has the same haircut as in John' s group a few years earlier. ❤

      You can actually find a recording of Bert on youtube where he mention that he got the melody from Jan Johansson (search for "If I Had a Lover (Folkweave, BBC World Service, 1977")

    But where was Terry Cox? BTW, I think it must have been difficult to get these live performances and audiences for folkie stuff throughout the '80s given the prevailing styles of music (and hairdos) of that decade...
    Good stuff all the same
    Thanks for posting.

    • @MichaelSBrown75
      @MichaelSBrown75 Před rokem +8

      Terry was in an accident at this time and the group went as a quartet til he was able to play again (especially Cambridge Folk Festival)

      @miguelcoelho3877 Před rokem +1

      @@MichaelSBrown75 Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't listening to them much in the '80s, as I had moved on to the Irish and Scottish folk bands of the time (in the '70s I used to listen to The Pentangle practically every day, as I had three of their LPs), so I didn't know about Terry's accident. Thanks once again for letting me know.

      I was 8 in 82 and my mother had the same awful hair and clothes. Adds a new layer to being 48 and super attracted to a woman I'm used to seeing in her 20's who bears a striking resemblance to my abusive ex. What a mess.
