This is just getting silly. Three in one day, all from the pinnacle of their arts?

For some people Bert Jansch defined a large aspect of their experience of the 1960s particularly through the folk-jazz Pentangle. Any attempt at listing those he influenced musically would be long-winded. The albums and recordings he's left are definitive.

When you design tactics to maximise suffering on civilian populations and your only constraint is operational rather than moral, you've told the world who you are.

I spent the weekend at a festival in Banbury and Pentangle were one of the headline acts - the loss was much mourned by all those who knew him.

I hope you were wearing something woolly.
