The Beggars announce 6 Adelaide concerts.
2009 ended on a high note for The Beggars with their track The Banjo Song finishing the year at number 1 on the European Country charts. The Banjo Song is the first single from the bands new “Desert Flower” CD.
Quinton Dunne [The Beggars Bassist] says
“It feels great to get some recognition for all the hard work and touring we have done in Europe over the last two years. We actually played more shows in Europe in 2009 that we did in Australia. Now we are all really looking forward to playing some concerts at home and I love the theatre venues that we will be performing in they are all fantastic. These shows will also give us the opportunity to put a larger band on the stage and make use of all the theatres facilities”
