GUEST,Wendy Anyone heard of The Jolly Beggarmen group? (68* d) RE: Anyone heard of The Jolly Beggarmen? 05 Jun 09

Hi Brad,

Charlie Clarke was my Dad. He was one of the founder members of The Jolly Beggarmen. Their record label was Dolphin Records (try dolphin traders - www.dolphin-dara.ie). They have a couple of shops in Dublin, one on Talbot St, where they sell cds etc direct to the public- if I remember correctly.

The Jolly Beggarmen recorded a number of lp's. I have copies of "20 Great Irish Drinking Songs" (cassette and lp) and "40 Irish Drinking Songs" (cd), but I'm sure there was at least one more.

According to Dad, these songs were recorded on an old style tape recorder in the pub during a gig. Hence why they're crackly, and you have people shouting out loud at various times.

Hope this will help at least a bit - if you need any additional information let me know.

Wendy
