Wassif also played regularly on stage with Bert Jansch.[8] One review of Bert's 2007 Somerset House concert (that also featured Bernard Butler and Beth Orton) described that "Wassif adds a country tinge to the music, which remains as sweet as ever as their first number ignores vocals to revel instead in these guitarists' undiluted skill".[9] In August 2010 Paul opened for Bert Jansch playing two nights at the Queen's Hall as part of the Edinburgh Festival.[10] On 3 December 2013 he performed on four songs at the concert "A Celebration of Bert Jansch" at London's Royal Festival Hall alongside Robert Plant, Lisa Knapp, Donovan and various members of Pentangle, amongst others.[11] The concert was broadcast by BBC4 in the UK on 28 March 2014 under the name The Genius of Bert Jansch: Folk Blues and Beyond.[12] Looking Up Feeling Down (album){{Infobox album| italic_title = no | name = Looking Up Feeling Down | type = studio | artist = Paul Wassif | cover = | alt = | released = September 2011 | recorded = | venue = | studio = | genre = | length = | label = Black Brown & White | producer = Paul Wassif, David Watson | prev_title = | prev_year = | next_title = | next_year = }} Paul Wassif's first solo album Looking Up Feeling Down was released digitally on 5 May 2011 and on CD on 5 September 2011.[13][14] The album features guest appearances from Bert Jansch and Eric Clapton[15] playing and recording together for the first time on two tracks; 'Please Don't Leave', written by Paul Wassif and 'Southbound Train' written by Big Bill Broonzy.
