They remained together until January 1973 when Jansch left (although they would reunite several other times along the years).

PENTANGLE (again)
New reunion of the original Pentangle for a short tour during June and July 2008:
And again, another reunion of the original Pentangle for some gigs in June and July 2011:
Bert sadly passed away on October 5th, 2011 at Hampstead, London in England, due to cancer. As it happened with Davy Graham, Bert was also admired by many of his colleagues, such as Gordon Giltrap, Rory Gallagher, Neil Young, Al Stewart, Donovan, Mike Oldfield, Rab Noakes, Chris Simpson (Magna Carta), Andy Powell (Wishbone Ash) or Jimmy Page. Even some of them have tunes related to him:
Michael Chapman has the song ´Bert Jansch meets Frankenstein as a bonus track of the CD reissue of his album Rainmaker.
Gordon Giltrap has an EP called Janschology.
David Hughes has a track called ´Cool BJ.
There´s also a collective tribute double album called People on the highway - a Bert Jansch encomium, featuring bandmates, friends and fans such as Roy Harper, Donovan, Al Stewart, Laurence Juber, Rod Clements, the late Martin Jenkins, Ralph McTell, Rab Noakes, Duffy Power, Maggie Boyle and many others.
My first contact with Bert Jansch´s music was when, as a teenager, I bought the double LP by Pentangle´s Sweet child. I was fascinated by their rendition of Charlie Mingus´ ´Goodbye pork hat´, and I instantly became a fan. Later, I bought a vinyl copy (no CDs then) of a rare Spanish double album that contained Bert´s fantastic first album, also Rosemary lane, etc. Great, fantastic music.

TRIBUTES TO BERT JANSCH
- From Maggie Boyle (sent to me on October 11th, 2011):
- From Paul Millns (sent to me on October 11th, 2011):
- From Gary Boyle (sent to me on October 11th, 2011):
- From Luce Langridge (sent to me on October 20th, 2011):
I have been happy and lucky enough to know Bert as a friend since the early 80s. His musicianship was truly awesome. He was also a truly great person, and of the highest possible integrity - a gentleman in the purest sense. I am thankful for the lovely memories, in particular Bert & Loren's Wedding Day - a time of huge joy and celebration for this very special couple and all present. My heart goes out to Loren, Adam & Kieran at this sorrowful time.
Maggie Boyle

A true original and great artist. Paul had the privilege of playing with him often in the 80’s, including some memorable nights at the Edinburgh Festival together with bassist Nigel Portman Smith. Bert also recorded “Rise and Shine” live with Paul in the studio on the album “Against the tide” in 1994. Sadly missed by so many, but with such a great musical legacy.
Paul Millns

There will be many tributes to Bert as a musician which I would add my voice to, but I think my main memory would be of a really quiet, unassuming person, a gentleman. RIP
Gary Boyle

He was a great player and writer, I loved playing with him, a great loss.
