The coolest man in folk, still. Though greatly missed.
Wizz, Bert and Ralph all in the pub together! love it
The very best of the best. Once heard, never forgotten.
Bert's darts technique is something else!
Bert stumping for craft beer? Makes me feel even more connection to his music and this time than I already do :D
So timely for me to be seeing/hearing these gems. Thanks for posting!
My Hero
wow this is special
Thanks so much!
This is golden.
Bert posing with half a pint of mik in a Ravenhead dimple glass. Love it. I still have one of those glasses. I think they were discontinued because they'd be dearly in a bar fight :-)
Really enjoyed this ! 😎🎶
Great find cheers
Anniversary is next November 3.
Thank you for these videos. Greetings from Russia 🥰
Привет, акустический друг!)
@@w1zard576 привет из Твери! Вива Берт Джанш!
The technique is flawless. I wanted to study Bert's work again, and I discovered that Bert used Yamaha L Series guitars. Amazing.
Indeed he did, at least in the last part of his career. After the borrowed guitars of the first few years, he had a couple made for him byJohn Bailey (1966),. In the mid-70s he used a Yamaha FG-1500, which is probably the one you see here. In the late 70s/80s he used a Rob Armstrong, and came back to Yamaha in the 90s - specifically the LL-11E. I use an LL11 myself, which you can see and hear on my lessons on this channel.
I have an LL6M A.R.E. an LS6 as well as an FG830 from Yamaha. I have some Alvarez Guitars as well.
Thank you so much for these videos! Do you have any idea when Bert Transcribed 2 is going to be released and what songs are slated to be on there?

@@Jonpriley Thank you for the reply! Looking forward to it.
@@Jonpriley wow that’s great news I never knew a second one was coming. I’ll definitely be getting it. Thanks for the info and the content. X
Around 0:38 he clearly seems disappointed at something he's played.
But I've watched it over and over and I couldn't say what that thing is he's disappointed at. I feel like that's the magic of Bert's playing, even what are maybe his mistakes are so solidly confined and layed out that they seem purposeful.
He makes a very obvious mistake at 0:25, and laughs it off at that point. But perhaps that loss of concentration unsettled him enough to bother him more deeply around 0:38, where his expression is clearly one of annoyance with himself.
I know that feeling myself. You make a silly mistake in a tune you've been playing flawlessly for years, and at first it's a mix of surprise and embarrassment, and a little laugh is an automatic response. But then over the next few seconds you start thinking it's a lapse in professionalism, a sign of something more serious: you should really be taking more care and not just relying on habit.
Also, at that point that camera is right in front of him, quite close in, as if it has moved round after the mistake to confront him! That would naturally make him more self-conscious - he never did enjoy that kind of close attention.
Bert began singing about a key higher than " usual "
hilarious
@@danielalexandermclachlanga3781No he didn't. He sang in the right key (the key he started in, and intended to continue in), he just played a wrong chord on the first phrase because he moved to the wrong fret.
@@Jonpriley aye Man
done many guitar foibles and played through for years
Playing darts with Ralph McTell 😉
Who knows which kind of Yamaha does he use? If I'm not mistaken there were 11ll or something like that in Bert's later period.
He always liked Yammys, me the same.
what’s the untitled instrumental called !!
If I knew that, I would have said in the comments! 🙂 It sounds to me like a fairly random improvisation, throwing together some of his favourite blues licks. Of course, if anyone else knows, let us both know!
Why are they featuring a Watneys house. Didn't the Half Moon have a dart board? That was the main reason for starting CAMRA. Watneys, an almost undrinkable beer, it was so awful, were buying up the smaller breweries.
Yes, the Bricklayers was a weird choice - not only because he was talking about CAMRA approvingly beforehand, but that pub is further away from Ralph's house (where he was living then) than the Half Moon is. Maybe it actually sold some better alternatives to Watneys... or maybe they tried the Half Moon and they wouldn't let them film?
Bert couldn’t play darts for toffee….funny
