Angie

Davy Graham wrote the tune and named it after his girlfriend of the time, and first released it on his 1962 EP 3/4 AD. It is a fingerstyle piece in A minor known for its descending bass line, and it has been spelled Angi, Angie and Anji. Jansch learned it from a tape borrowed from Len Partridge before Graham's record came out, and he recalled not understanding how Graham kept several lines going at once. It is the only piece on Bert Jansch he did not write, and closes the album.

Andrew Shields called Graham's tune perhaps the best-known instrumental of the 1960s. Simon & Garfunkel recorded it as Anji for Sounds of Silence (1966), and that spelling spread from there. Mike Oldfield named his first band, the Sallyangie, after it. The guitarist and writer Elijah Wald said the version that stuck in his fingers is essentially Jansch's.

Live

He played it on BBC television with Ralph McTell in 1982, at his BBC Four Sessions concert in 2003, for the Folk Britannia series in 2006, and with McTell at the Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2009 in honour of Graham. The upload in the hypersongs web is a late-career live performance shown on BBC Four.
