Bert Jansch, legendary British songwriter and guitarist, will be playing at The Bell House on Wednesday night at 9PM (doors open at 8PM).

According to the Bell House blurb: “Bert Jansch began performing his unique synthesis of folk, blues and jazz on the folk club scene of the early 1960s, having hitch-hiked to London from his hometown of Edinburgh. His first album, Bert Jansch (played on a borrowed guitar and recorded on a reel-to-reel tape deck) was legendarily sold to the Transatlantic label for 100 pounds. On its release in April 1965 Bert Jansch caused a sensation for its innovative guitar technique and powerful songs and it has been phenomenally influential to this day, cited by legions of guitar players (famous and otherwise) as a major inspiration.”

This is a rare opportunity to see a legend —right here in Brooklyn. A Bert Jansch show is a guitar playing master class and an impressive catalogue of some of the most haunting songs in the British canon.

Don’t know about you but I will be there.
