“Jansch’s influence on modern music is incalculable” – TIME OUT
“As much of a great guitar player as Jimi [Hendrix] was, Bert Jansch is the same thing for acoustic guitar…and my favourite” – Neil Young
"One of the most influential musicians of all time" – THE GUARDIAN
"He completely re-invented guitar playing and set a standard that is still unequalled today...without Bert Jansch, rock music as it developed in the ‘60s and ‘70s would have been very different. You hear him in Nick Drake, Pete Townshend, Donovan, The Beatles, Jimmy Page and Neil Young. There are people playing guitar who don’t even realise they’ve been influenced by him one step removed” – Johnny Marr
“At one point, I was absolutely obsessed with Bert Jansch. When I first heard that LP [1965], I couldn’t believe it. It was so far ahead of what everyone else was doing. No one in America could touch that” – Jimmy Page
“He revolutionised the guitar…I don’t think anybody has ever been revered as much as he is” – Dick Gaughan
“If you didn’t know he was a guitar hero to many – including Jimmy Page and Keith Richards – your ears might tell you” – THE EVENING STANDARD
"Few guitarists, no matter how legendary, can keep an audience mesmerised for over two hours. Folk-blues 1960s icon Jansch is one of those few" – THE GUARDIAN
"Bert Jansch is a legend for our times" – METRO
