Subject: RE: Anyone heard of The Jolly Beggarmen group? From: Gurney Date: 15 Oct 16 - 04:10 PM Just to add a little confusion: I have a cassette tape entitled 'The Beggermen,' presumably a duo comprising Seamus Kennedy and Tom O'Carroll, since no variant of a song by that title is on it. This is either a copy or a private production, hardly a commercial production. They are skillful performers, and sing very fast. Would that be the Seamus who is a Mudcatter? |

Subject: RE: Anyone heard of The Jolly Beggarmen group? From: GUEST,Patrick Quinn Date: 01 Sep 19 - 01:50 PM All the Best from Ireland vol. 2 is an all time favorite. The bottles clinking away and the joy and sadness of the tunes puts me in the pub and I sing and play along. I will play this album until I can’t. |
Subject: RE: Anyone heard of The Jolly Beggarmen group? From: GUEST Date: 01 Sep 19 - 03:48 PM I remember the Berni Inn, Nassau Street, Dublin 2. It is now The Porter House pub & brewery. For over 60 years of the 20th century the building Jammets Restaurant. https://arrow.dit.ie/jamres/ I don't remember any beggarmen,jolly or otherwise,in Restaurant Jammet. Patrick Kavannagh was wined and dined there by John Betjeman during the Emergency (commonly known elsewhere as World War 2) when the latter was "Press Attaché" to the UK Representative in Eire. |
Subject: RE: Anyone heard of The Jolly Beggarmen group? From: GUEST,Shay Date: 07 Mar 20 - 05:47 PM Wendy, Don't know if you still read this thread or not. I have only come across it. Am not familiar with how it works. I have never contributed to anything like this before. Just to let you know that I knew your Dad in the late sixties. We started a little group called The Waxers (Waxer being your Dad's nickname). There were three of us in the group: your Dad - lead singer, Jimmy McKenna - guitar, and myself on tenor banjo - Shay Mc Donald. We played in O'Meara's on Aston Quay On Monday nights and the Castle Inn in Lord Edward Street on Sunday mornings. We used to play at the session O'Donoghue's on Saturday nights. I'm sure you're aware that our photo is still on the wall there in the back lounge from over fifty years ago. I was sorry to hear your Dad has passed on. He was a great ballad singer. I am living now in Wexford and visit Dublin now and again. I would love to have a chat with you when we visit Dublin again but I don't know how to go about it. You mightn't even be aware of this correspondence. Hopefully you will see it. |
