Jacqui McShee and Mike Piggott
Jacqui McShee and Mike Piggott were two of Bert’s closest friends and associates. Vocalist Jacqui was part of the five-piece group Pentangle from its very inception in 1967, through all its variations, to Bert’s final live concert with the original line up in August 2011. Mike has featured on many recordings for greats of the folk and jazz world and is known as a “Master of the jazz violin”. He worked with Bert for several years playing both violin and guitar, as a duo and as part of Bert’s ‘Conundrum’ band and, for a while in the 1980s, as part of the reformed Pentangle, appearing on two albums and on several tours with Bert. He also played on Bert’s 1995 album When the Circus Comes to Town.
Baby, Now it's Over
A piece by Bert Jansch, sung by Jacqui McShee and played by Mike Piggott for Bert
This song is from a 1991 Pentangle album called Think of Tomorrow. Jacqui says “It’s been such a privilege to be able to sing and record so many of Bert’s songs as part of our band. Bert spoke through his songs, with a passion, love and thoughtfulness that he could never express in person. I miss him every day.”
