The Jolly Beggars – Celtic 6 piece band!

April 16, Friday, 8 pm, $8. / $5 students

The Jolly Beggars bring the rich tradition of Celtic music to audiences all over Connecticut. Made up of students from the Hartt School of Music in West Hartford, CT, their traditional songs and musical arrangements have exposed many music lovers to the joys of Celtic music. They tell traditional stories from Irish folklore or daily life and intersperse their musical arrangements with traditional reels and jigs. Characterized by their tight harmonies and use of mandolin, pennywhistle, guitar, bass, bodhran, spoons, and more, The Jolly Beggars have quickly built a solid following and continue to spread their music around the Hartford area and beyond.
