AMBITIOUS BEGGARS
Beg EP (Unreleased Single)
1990 Not On Label
Ambitious Beggars started out in the early '80's in Manchester. The band
were originally called Ignition & were fronted by John Bramwell,
who went on to be a minor legend on the Manchester scene calling himself
Johnny Dangerously. He later re-emerged as the critically acclaimed
& fairly successful I Am Kloot. They signed to Ugly Man Records in 1989, Bob Kemp took over the lead role in the band and they released their first single, ska influenced "Man In A Suit"/"The
Shadow". Next came the "Welcome" EP. The next thing you know the
whole Madchester scene is in full flow & record companies are
flocking north to find the next Stone Roses. This was the opportunity
they'd been waiting for, but somehow despite a large Manchester
following & a well received national tour supporting James, they
remained unsigned.
''Beg EP'' is madchester influenced single, real shame it was never officially released, all tracks are great, especially my favourites from this band - ''Tambourine'' and "Fear".
