- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 19 Apr, 2026 at 05:00 am (+10:00)
- **Event Description**: Guitarist & producer Shane O'mara, and singer Jac Tonks, announce their tribute to the songs of Bert Jansch 'Sorrow Hides The Longing To Be Free'. Out March 6th on Vinyl/CD via Cheersquad Record & Tapes.

The brilliant Bert Jansch pioneered a "folk baroque" style that blended traditional British folk with elements of blues and jazz. His innovative fingerstyle guitar technique was one that redefined the instrument's role in the 1960s British folk revival. 

Guitarist virtuoso Shane O’Mara, who, with singer Jac Tonks, channels the great Scottish folk stylist’s lyrical melodies and ethereal chord voicings like an uncanny mist forever suspended beyond the madness of modern times.

"Bert’s music can feel ancient yet avuncular:  harmonic complexities delivered with tenderness. Tonks and O’Mara’s heavenly matching raises these adored tunes to the sacred yet sensual, as if ghosts have been woken with fresh lusts" - Tim Rogers 

"Shane O’Mara’s virtuosic guitar playing channels Bert Jansch with real love and restraint, it’s elegant, raw, and haunting. This album feels like lying in tall grass at noonday, then shifts to a long, dusty road unspooling at dusk. Dark, languid and hypnotic, it’s a beautifully grounded piece of work” - Adalita
