The Dirty Beggars played Backstage at the Green Hotel in Kinross on Friday 3rd April. They played a blistering set and we had a big crowd who had turned up to see them play their first gig for Mundell Music. Sammy McCullough had suggested that we book them and they went down a storm. After the show everyone decamped to the Backstage Bar where they played an acoustic gig just for those who had stayed behind!!! A good time was had by all…..so I’m told!!!

The Dirty Beggars are an outfit from Central Scotland with the music of the Appalachians running in their blood. Their own brand of down and dirty bluegrass fused with traditional Celtic sounds has been electrifying crowds all over the UK and abroad. Comprising of guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, harmonica and double bass – The Dirty Beggars are one-of-a-kind in the UK, akin to unique styles pioneered by Old Crow Medicine Show, Gillian Welch and the Dave Rawlings Machine. Their debut album ‘Bite The Bullet’ was released in 2011 to critical acclaim. A new EP ‘Time to Reminisce’ was released in November 2013 on the band’s own independent label – Wayward Sounds Records.
