“A night with the beggars is never boring”

"The entire Sweeney Clan is proud that Jeff and the Beggars are carrying on our Irish music traditions. It’s wonderful to hear musicians who not only have fun with Celtic music, but sing it well and with respect. Their arrangements of the tunes are inventive and inspired, yet faithful to tradition. The Beggars’ instrumentations and rich vocal harmonies prove wrong any who claim that 'All Irish music sounds the same.'"

"A night with the Beggars is never boring, because of the variety of the music in their sets. They are equally adept at performing a ballad, a well- known “sing-along” drinking song, or an instrumental dance set. Whether the audience is listening to a story, joining in on spirited refrains, or tapping and clapping along, it’s a grand time being had by all! Don’t miss out on a chance to come and see them perform live…. but if you can’t , the next best thing is listening to their CD. So, what are you waiting for?"
