Well, Martyn always had a lot of fun, but Jansch was pretty serious most of the time. Still, he was always more relaxed than Graham. Jansch was cool. Graham was cold - or at least looked that way: Shirley Collins said she found him intimidating.

Davy Graham could have fun (kind of) but he always had that academic approach to folk music. (He even wore bow-ties later on, like a proper old-school professor.) He was known to somewhat resent that young gun Jansch muscling in with his easy charisma, getting all the attention.
These two are quite light-hearted though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdHWPt6pHNg

(Mind you, someone has smacked him in the eye recently....)
