"From Clare to Here" is not an Irish ballad, even if it mentions Clare! Written by Croydon boy, Ralph McTell!

I loved this band. Heard them play in a number of pubs in Dublin. Great songs. You can get their music on Amazon.com

You should post to Facebook page: "Dublin Down Memory Lane" bet you'll get lots of info on there. There is a Jolly Beggerman Facebook pg too, guess it's your own. All the best.

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?

The Jolly Beggarmen played for me in The Berni Inn from 71 /77 as did the Dublin City
ramblers/ Paddy Reilly / Anne Byrne/ Brendan Grace and many more.So sorry on the
Loss of two great guys.They will be sadly remembered.Can anyone tell me if Kevin and his brother are still on the scene.I believe Joe is playing in Spain .I have their first album
Signed by each of the group which I endorsed.I also have the first Lp of the Ramblers
Signed.
James I knew your dad well he was a fantastic mandolin player and singer.You were just a kid when I left for Canada.
Hi Paul Cooke in Canada give me a bell.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Still memories from 1979 Dublin. Best live music ever. Energy, rythym and harmony that is still in my heart

I and some friends shared a house in Cork in the late 70s. Saw the Beggarmen in a pub and invited them back to stay over in the house.
A massive session followed. Great talent.
