More really good MySpace reviews by Trev

More My Space around Bert Jansch and the influential Folk Guitarists of the late 60's -

Dave Bennett is Coventry folky and old friend - a Phd in Zoology and a fantastic Ragtime guitarist - now in his 60's and still going strong. I knew him in the 70's - he was at every folk club I visited or played at and we all envied his fast finger picking. My song - Just Before Dawn was partly inspired by watching his playing although pales in terms of skill! He placed an add in my Cov music Mag - Hobo - as 'Blind Drunk Dave Bennett' - the man has a sense of humour!

The following are folkies based in London in the late 60's - folk clubs around Greek St. etc. They all influenced the playing of the young Paul Simon and Bob Dylan. Jackson C. Frank was a briliant player and Paul Simon covered his song Blues Run the Game -
The sad life of an influential folk singer began traumatically and ended in obscurity. Throughout his life Frank was haunted with misfortune and ignored tremendously. Greenwich Village's coffeehouse folk scene in the early sixties drew Frank to New York. He met such names as John Kay, later of Steppenwolf. Later - He took up a flat with a then struggling folk singer Paul Simon in London, who later was impressed enough to produce ten of Frank's songs in a self-titled album.

Bert Jansch is a well known legend - with his work with Pentangle and his solo work - covers of Davy Graham's Angi - Needle of Death - and many more classics. One of the biggest influences on so many guitarists, including Paul Simon and Dylan.

Davey Graham is best known for his instrumental Anji but is credited with sparking the Folk-rock revolution in the late 60's. He influenced Bert Jansch, John Rebbourn and many many more. A total legend.

Is Coventry's legendary folk rock group of the late 60's with a new My Space. The musicians all moved on. Martin Jenkins went on to play with Bert Jansch. The best stuff is not on their My Space but there's a link to Dave Cooper's Dando site with samples of the other classic tracks.
