My rendition of Planxty Davis, arrangement inspired by the great Nic Jones listen to his superb album Penguin eggs for the definitive version. Nic is the ultimate combination of great voice, great songs, and great guitar playing. His contribution is sorely missed: get your hands on whatever you can - it's all fabulous.

Im also very grateful indeed to the best amateur folk guitarist Ive heard Christopher Whitfield for helping me with the tuning and transcription (taking the high D up to E really makes the Nic Jones version make sense).

Tuning is CGCGCE. The album version is probably a semi-tone or more lower Nic did that a lot.

Guages are 56, 42, 32, 24, 16, 15

Guitar is a Stefan Sobell Model 1 scantling guitar; previous owner Martin Simpson. It has a very wide neck and very low action necessary because there are some painful stretches here!

Audio isnt great since its the mic on the video camera and nothing else.
