The Australian Beggars - music of Australia
The Australian Beggars have a crystal clear song that rings out from the land down under. Renowned acoustic singer songwriters Quinton Dunne, Stuart Day and Renee Donaghey started this Australian band in their home town of Adelaide in 2005. An acoustic, harmony rich and distinctly Australian band, their sound pays homage to its Alternative Country and Folk roots but it so much more than the sum of its parts. A sense of identity and place underpins this music of Australia. Their special chemistry has found an audience with music lovers far and wide and is captured on their 2006 debut album “Beggars”. Their shear genius caught the ears of European DJs who introduced them to millions of listeners and put the band on top countdown charts across the E.U. The Australian Beggars stage presence, humor and soaring free vocals have taken them around the world and their self titled CD is now released in 14 countries.
