Progressiverock

Scottish progressive rock band founded in Glasgow in 1969- Disbanded in 1975 - Reformed briefly in 1980 and again in 2007.
This band was from Scotland, their name is derived from a novel by the poet John Gray in 1728. The musicians of BEGGARS OPERA were Martin Griffiths (vocals), Rick Gardiner (guitar and vocals), Alan Park (keyboards), Gordon Sellar (bass, acoustic guitar and vocals), Virginia Scott (Mellotron and vocals) and Raymond Wilson (drums and percussion). BEGGARS OPERA made a lot of records but remained acting in the shade of most progressive rock bands.
Their debut-album "Act one" ('70) contains fluent and tasteful organ driven progrock with powerful "Sixties" sounding guitarwork.
Griffiths sang and was compere in the working men's clubs in and around Manchester until he left for Germany in 1974. He went on tour and worked with Brian Auger, Osibisa, Ekseption, Klaus Doldinger, Ange and Can before signing a recording contract with Jupiter Records (Ralph Siegel) releasing three singles: "I’ll Be Coming Home", ”Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" and "Israelites", which reached number 3 in the German Disco Charts in 1977.

There is really no connection with the pioneering symphonic prog of the 1970's Beggar's Opera, indeed the tendency here is even more towards melodic electronic pop. The line up remains unchanged, the trio being joined by a fourth member of the Gardiner family when Leonora Gardiner sings backing vocals on "Sad songs".
The opening title track has a nice lead guitar motif, the track being driven along by an upbeat pop rhythm. Only the imaginative arrangement stops this from being a simple pop song though.
Beggars Opera continues exploring pretty much the same territory on this album as on their previous two efforts, art rock compositions with distinct symphonic tendencies and occasional proclivities in the direction of bands like Pink Floyd. Perhaps slightly more mainstream-oriented.
