Testimonials

R2 magazine: “What stands out with these songs is the concision of the lyrics – no flab and false sentiment. The arrangements, too, are just right; this is a band of musicians experienced enough to know when to leave spaces for one another. Nothing’s crowded, and everything meshes together perfectly. Very impressive.”

fRoots magazine: “There should be more bands like Beggar’s Bridge taking the lore and legend of their own backyard and turning up the volume on specifically local electric roots.”

The Living Tradition: “All in all, Beggar’s Bridge have given us an enthusiastic modern-day folk-rock album that’s strongly rooted in timeless storytelling and folk tradition, with writing the benchmark of whose craft is pitched well above the routine.”

Folking.com: “Beggar’s Bridge craft songs from stories in the way that John Conolly and Bill Meek did in their heyday and that is high praise indeed.”

Bright Young Folk: “This is very much folk music in the modern world…an album which shows why folk song and folk tales are so fascinating.”
