New Tour Dates for Europe and Australia
There are a stack of new June and July European shows announced on our Gig Calendar and on The Beggars Facebook page. New shows shows and details are also announced for South Australia Victorian and New South Wales.
Euro Tour Launch and Fundraiser Friday June 14th
The Beggars are touring Germany, Switzerland and Denmark for three weeks through June and July. To celebrate getting another international tour of the ground and raise some cash for the flights we are playing a concert on Friday June 14 at the Trinity Sessions 318 Goodwood Road and all the profits will go toward the flights. We will be ably supported on the night by the superb singer songwriters The Texettes and later in the night the wonderful Trev Warner who will join us on stage. There is a facebook event page for the June 14 concert if you like to use that.
Tix will be online at dramatix or phone Trinity on 82974037 to book.
Tour
I will post the tour dates in our gig calendar when they are all confirmed. The highlight of the 15 or so shows on the tour will almost certainly be the Skagen Festival in Denmark the longest running festival in that part of the world, it features a strong line up of Australian acts.
