Sorry to hear about this. I, and my husband, have been long-time fans of Bert Jansch and Pentangle. I've never had the good fortune to hear Jansch live, but have been fortunate enough to have seen John Renbourn and Martin Carthy (not together) perform live over here, not at the Newport Folk Festival, but at a small concert venue as part of the Common Fence Point music series in nearby Portsmouth, RI.

Marthe - Thanks for these comments. With those in mind, are there any relevant radio programmes on NPR or commercial stations in New England you would recommend? - Lat.

Hi Lat. - Boston's NPR station WGBH (89.7 FM) has a program called "A Celtic Sojourn" on Saturday afternoons hosted by Brian O'Donovan; WRUI (90.3 FM), the University of Rhode Island station has a program called "In the Celtic Realm" on Wednesday evenings hosted by Laura Travers. We've been listening to, and enjoying, both of these programs for 30+ years. The focus is Celtic music but that in itself is wide ranging and includes Breton, Scottish, Welsh, and Cornish music as well as the ubiquitous Irish jigs and reels. Laura Travers tends to throw in English stuff as well, though neither Travers nor O'Donovan plays much traditional American music. Travers's annual Halloween show will be coming up on the Wednesday closest to Halloween and usually has a good line up of Pentangle/Renbourn-type stuff. You can listen to both of these stations streamed on-line. Look for http://www.wgbh.org/programs/ and http://www.WRIU.org/. Best wishes-m.
