Our Take

Hold onto your top hats and monocles, because Beggars Opera's latest offering, "Beggars Can't Be Choosers," is a whimsical journey through the musical landscape that will leave you begging for more.

From the moment the opening track, "Penny for the Beggar," hits your eardrums, you are transported to a world where beggars reign supreme and choosiness is a foreign concept. The band's unique blend of folk and rock influences creates a sound that is as infectious as it is eclectic.

Lead singer Oliver Twist's vocals are a force to be reckoned with, effortlessly gliding from delicate whispers to powerful wails. The instrumentation is equally impressive, with the accordion adding a touch of whimsy to each track.

Standout moments include the hauntingly beautiful "Begging for Love" and the rollicking "The Beggars' Ballad." Each track is a testament to the band's musical prowess and ability to craft songs that are both catchy and thought-provoking.

In a world where musical trends come and go, Beggars Opera proves that beggars can indeed be choosers when it comes to creating timeless music. So do yourself a favor and give "Beggars Can't Be Choosers" a listen - you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Beggar's Opera

Beggars Opera, oh what a name! The Scottish progressive rock band that burst onto the scene in the early 1970s, combining classical influences with a healthy dose of psychedelic weirdness. These guys were like a mix of Jethro Tull and The Nice, but with their own unique twist. Fronted by the enigmatic Martin Griffiths, whose haunting vocals could send shivers down your spine, Beggars Opera quickly gained a reputation for their theatrical live performances. Griffiths was a true showman, strutting around the stage in his flamboyant outfits, always ready to surprise and delight the audience. But it wasn't just about the theatrics with Beggars Opera. These guys could really play. Keyboardist Virginia Scott was a virtuoso on the piano, while guitarist Ricky Gardiner could unleash some seriously epic riffs. And let's not forget about drummer Raymond Wilson, whose thunderous beats provided the backbone of the band's sound. Their 1970 debut album, "Act One", was a revelation. With its complex arrangements and ambitious song structures, it was clear that Beggars Opera were not your average rock band. Tracks like "Poet and Peasant", with its soaring melodies and intricate instrumentation, showcased the band's technical prowess and artistic vision. Sadly, Beggars Opera never quite achieved the same level of success as some of their contemporaries. But for those in the know, they were a hidden gem, a band that pushed the boundaries of what rock music could be. So take a trip back in time and discover the magic of Beggars Opera – you won't be disappointed.
