Our third CD "Bawdy Noise" was released January 25, 2009 in honor of Burns' 250th birthday. You can stream the whole album at our web site JollyBeggars.net. You can download or order the CD at our CD Baby page.
Bob Hay & the Jolly Beggars play songs by 18th-century Scottish poet Robert Burns. Bob Hay says, "Burns was a pleasant surprise. I'm not sure what I was expecting from a "dead white guy" from 200 years ago, but it wasn't drunken humor and such frank emotion."

'The fear o Hell's a hangman's whip
To haud the wretch in order;
But where ye feel your honour grip,
Let that ay be your border:
Its slightest touches, instant pause -
Debar a' side-pretences;
And resolutely keep its laws,
Uncaring consequences.'
Keep up the guid work bonnie lads,
Ye sing my sang - for that, I'm glad!
