Jane Bromley
Jane grew up in Lincolnshire. She now lives in rural Suffolk with two children, a rescue greyhound and three chickens. Music is an abiding hobby. She plays guitar, flute, recorders, piano and sings. She has participated in a number of orchestras, groups and choirs spanning many genres of music from early Renaissance to Big Band, but now regularly plays as part of local folk group, performing traditional English, Irish and Scottish tunes at fetes and garden parties. She discovered Bert’s music in her teens, through her parents’ CDs. She has attended several Bert Jansch guitar workshops organised by the Bert Jansch Foundation at Cecil Sharp House.
Go Your Way My Love
A piece by Bert, sung by Jane Bromley for Bert Jansch
Jane says: “I chose ‘Go Your Way My Love’ as I first heard Bert play this accompanying Anne Briggs on a CD of the Acoustic Routes documentary, borrowed from the university library 25 years ago. Having sung along to these tunes many, many times and later purchasing my own copy, I went on to discover more of his earlier work and to hear him live in the late 1990s. The song has a haunting melody and melancholy lyrics, but Bert’s accompaniment makes it rhapsodic and therefore lovely to sing.
Jane is accompanied by Peter Reeves on guitar.
