There are many bands from the mod revival that never released a 45 single. Beggar being one of them, until now! The band hailing from Mountain Ash in South Wales shouldve been huge with the sound they were producing, honest raw fast rhythm and blues with a hint of punk! Just perfect to grace the 79 sound, this with the soulful vocals from lead singer Bryn Gregory compliments the offering! It would have been all too easy to put out a single of the two tracks which featured on the acclaimed live at the Bridge House LP but Beggar offer much more than that. An earlier album also released by 'Detour' show cased the band with tracks that would blow you away, not only with the music but the lyrical content made the band stand out as accomplished artists within our genre proving that they could compete with the best the revival had to offer. For those of you who never saw them play live, this release will make you kick yourself for not making the effort! I love Beggar and I hope you like the four tracks Ive chosen for this brilliant release. Nu form love / Have another drink / Modern man / Mindless doll. I know which are my favourites .. ..
