BEGGARS are tipped by many to emerge as a British classic who devote their lives to their art.

The young Reading four-piece decided to throw everything in to the group by moving in together, in a bid to gel as a unit.

Singer, Jamie Girdler, said: “For us, you either go all out or not at all. Everyone just quit everything they were doing, and we all moved into a flat together.”

The plan seemed to work, they were soon signed by Heavenly Records who kept them out of the limelight until their sound was perfected.

Catch Beggars during their UK tour at Wolverhampton’s Little Civic on Friday September 26.
