Bert Jansch and Davey Graham
Colin Harper, MOJO, July 2000
NOTE: This piece was adapted and expanded, with additional material, from Dazzling Stranger: Bert Jansch And The British Folk & Blues Revival (Bloomsbury). It is a longer version of a piece published in MOJO. In addition to using material from my own interviews with Davey Graham and Wizz Jones, I also used some quotes β in paragraphs 11 and 15, from memory - from both artists from a Folk Roots piece on Davey by Ken Hunt. My apologies to Ken for not being credited fully in this piece as originally publishedββCH
