Thread Name: Anyone heard of The Jolly Beggarmen group?
Subject: RE: ANyone heard of The Jolly Beggarmen?
I bought the CD mentioned by Joe Offer: it is OK, much to my surprise. I was halfway expecting the oompa-pa tape I've been fooled by several times before. It is a varied group of songs, but is mixed poorly. It sounds like a studio tape dubbed with artificial pub sounds (laughing, singing along, clanking of glasses) to make it sound live. It is two CDs for $16, and probably worth the money if you like the group. I really like the band, and would love to get the album The Very Best of Irish Rebel Songs. THey seem to be their strong suit. Bo - Where did you get that CD?
