Anyone heard of The Jolly Beggarmen group?

Subject: Anyone heard of The Jolly Beggarmen?
From: Brad

This is my first post, but have been amazed at the knowledge of Irish music. Does anyone have any information on a band called The Jolly Beggarmen? A friend of mine bought a double cassette set of theirs in Ireland five years ago, but I've never seen anything else except a version of "Only Our Rivers Run Free" on a compilation set. Any info on who they are or how to get their material would be appreciated.

I have a triple cassette set from Ireland with a few songs of the Jolly Beggarman. I have no infor about this group; I though it was the name of a single person as I have listed it as Jolly Beggarman. Hovewer, I'm going to post a new thread with the lyrics of a song (Streets of New York) song by this band. Ciao

I have a CD called "the Very Best Of Irish Rebel Songs" done by the Jolly Beggarmen. I have also found their work , uncredited, on another Irish Music compilation disk (which I cant recall right now).

Good tight group.

Apparently, their 40-song album is available on CD or cassette from Irish Records International, Inc. Would you recommend it? It's a little hard to figure out the catalogue - this could be a collection of 40 drinking songs.

Can't help you on the "jolly Beggarmen" but there's a Belfast group in Orange County, CA called "The Irish Beggarmen" that are pretty good. They might be able to direct you toward the other guys, their address is 4036 Meadowbrook st, Orange, CA 92665 714-637-1087 ask for Frank Murphy. good luck

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?

I have two Jolly Beggermen tapes and both are titled "The very best of Irish rebel songs". However, one tape has a Volume I after the title. That one is put out by EMI, no date given, and the second by Fiesta Record Company, Inc. in 1987. Different songs on each.

I don't know if these are on CD.

If you want to know the songs on each tape e-mail me. mim@teleport.com

The Jolly Beggarmen were formed in approx 1976 and lasted more than 15 years. The main members were Joe White, Tommy Jenkinson, Jonny Carrol, Paddy Quigley, Eamonn O'Rourke Snr. Also from time to time there was Kevin Molloy, Donal Nagle and a couple more that I don't remember. They recorded On the Dole and The Inner City Song which reached the top ten in Ireland. They also travelled extensively around europe and the UK.

Susanne,
The Inner City song was written by Don Baker for the Jolly Beggarmen and it reached no 2 in the Irish Charts... Don Baker is also on the single playing the harmonica... you will find info on this on Don Bakers Web site. Tommy Jenkinson and Joe White are still playing music...

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

I saw the Beggarmen in Dublin a few times ... probably mid 90's with Tommy and Joe White (I can't remember who else at the time). I always thought they were very good live. Why is it so hard to find more info on them? I have pages on them at my website ... and that information comes from either the recordings I have ... or this post. Please keep the information on the Jolly B's coming!

'79 dublin - songs that brought the tears and questions of politics, love and life - laughter and dancing - pints late nights after hours - hot whiskey with lemon and cloves -precious sharing of joys and sorrows through the songs - strangers that you felt you knew and knew you more than any had before through the music, the reactions to the words and the beat, the flash of an eye, - the smoke filled rooms and the smell of the fire-   i think of that time and place    never said goodbye    still in my heart-      yes i remember them well

I came across The Jolly Beggarmen by wading through LPs at a folk festival. I was blown away by their raw brilliance. The LP I picked up was their early 1974 Olympic Record OBL106. It is signed by all the band (Charlie Clarke, Tommy Jenkinson, Kevin Molloy, Tommy Molloy and Joe White). I wish I had seen them perform. (Malc - s.battybatty@btinternet.com)

Hi,

The Jolly Beggarmen played in and around Dublin. I rember them in the Berni Inn Pub on Nassau Street in Dublin around 1973/1974. They were great but I heard that they broke up in the mid 1980's. Maybe it was due to the poor Irish economy at the time.

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?

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.
