Around the world in 80 plays – Gigs

With guitars travelling ‘Around the world in 80 plays’ for Bert Jansch – the artists have been invited to perform live, showcasing the amazing talent on the journey.

While live music is curtailed we are presenting Live performances from The Bert Jansch Foundation’s Facebook page every Thursday in July 2020. They are hosted in conjunction with Young Somerset and are free to watch.

We invite people watching to make a donation to the Save our Venues campaign on this link to help ensure there are still venues for live performance when restrictions are completely lifted on indoor gatherings.
