High Days - Bert Jansch (cover) by Kelvyn Taylor published on 2014-04-06T22:39:34Z I heard Wizz Jones playing this on a TV documentary about Bert Jansch and fell in love with it. So I tried to do it. Eek. The track is from his last album, Black Swan, released in 2006. Bert died in 2011 aged just 67.
