The Beggars next concert will be at Trinity Sessions on Friday June 14th to launch a 23 day tour of Europe through June and July. This will be the bands fourth European tour.

Of 19 concerts across Switzerland, Germany and Denmark the highlight will be performing as part of a big Aussie line up at Skagen Denmark’s premier folk music festival. This concert celebrates the bands fourth European Tour, the release of their fourth album SING! and the bands continuing musical journey.

Some of the comments attributed to the band are :

"The best Australian vocal band since the Seekers" Normie Rowe 2012

"World-class musicians" Rocktimes 2010 [Germany]

"Super Australian band: Renee Donaghey is a genius." Bote der urschweiz Lucerne. 2008. [Switzerland]

When The Beggars formed it was quickly apparent there would be few places for the band to play at home in Adelaide, so they grasped the nettle of interstate and international touring right from the word go!

18 months after the band started they had a debut album of original songs, a single in the European charts and were performing in Switzerland and Germany. Treading the international stage so early in the bands career focused their sense of their Australian identity and attachment to 'home'. Their next two albums Desert Flower and Australian Songbook have a crystal clear Australian sound.

Their Australian handmade acoustic sound has won them fans around the world resulting in multiple Australian and International tours. They have topped the European country music charts and made over 200 appearances on the iTunes singer songwriter and world music charts.

The Beggars comprise

Renee Donaghey: [vocals, guitar] Born on the family farm in Esperance, Western Australia. Hard times forced her family off the land and she moved to Adelaide. She has a crystal clear voice that rings out with the sound of folk and roots music

Quinton Dunne: [vocals, double bass] from the green hills of Ireland via London to the wide brown land of Australia. Quinton has played bass for many great Australian and international artists including The Seekers.

Stuart Day: [vocals, guitars, fiddle, mandolin, harmonica] Born in sunny Queensland, grew up in rainy Mt Gambier in the South East of South Australia. He is a highly regarded, ARIA nominated instrumentalist, composer and producer.

On Friday 14th The Beggars are joined on stage by Trev Warner and supported by The Texettes,
