Bert Jansch - Katie Cruel - Rare footage

Easdale Island Community Hall 1st Sept 2006. Only 50 people there, very personal performance, and a true gentleman of music. A folk legend. Talked to him after and he was very humble, signed my sheet answered some questions i had, then i had to go cos their were hurricane winds coming and the ferry said we would not get off the island if we didnt go immediately. Man that really was a magic night to remember.

you have a very good video, it´s even better for the fact that bert doesn´t sing this song himself on the album...you should PUT HIS NAME ON THE TITLE, because it is very hard to find this video and more people should see it!!

@kap66 yeah your right what i should have have said is this is daltons version of a traditional folk song like blackwaterside is bert jansch's version of a traditional folk song.

@ALfaDuB101 Karen Dalton didn't write this, Katie Cruel is a traditional American folksong, likely of Scottish origin. The American version of the song is said to date to the Revolutionary War period.

The usual high standard from Bert,Karen Dalton classic!

I seen Bert in glasgow he is fantastic ,Karen Dalton wrote this song and played banjo for those who havent heard her i cannot recomend her enough she is bob dylans favourite singer,she never got the fame she so deserved what an amazing voice and guitar player.

I just saw Bert in Pittsburgh tonight. At one point he remarked that the audience was very quiet, and after a pause someone in the audience said "we're just spellbound".  Spellbinding is a very appropriate way of describing Bert's performance.
