BEGGAR'S BRIDE

Bio - BEGGAR’S BRIDE
BEGGAR’S BRIDE mastermind Holland (’Holggy’) Begg was born under the sign of Sagittarius. Raised at the Dutch border, he was heavily influenced by the old classic seventies rock and the punk music – and even more by the American westcoast music of the late sixties.
Starting as a two-string bass player in some rock- and folk-punk bands, he finally made his way to his first studio production in the beginning of the eighties.
About ten years later, back in Switzerland, he founded Brest Psycho. This time playing guitars and singing vocals together with the German musician T.Tomczak, the Austrian F.Schneider (playin’ some fine acoustic guitars) and varying other musicians. The music of Brest Psycho and the resulting two albums were influenced by the South-West Desert Rock of the eighties, being a creative outcome of his first trip to the States.
Furthermore, Begg was involved into other productions for musicians
and bands for example the current Oni Logan (Ex-Lynch Mob) album.
H. Begg and F. Schneider formed BEGGAR’S BRIDE in their hometown St. Gallen, Switzerland in 2005. After hard work, we are very proud to present the result with BOULEVARD OF BROKEN HEARTS. The 2nd album - unwired under cover is an acoustic one, scheduled for 1st of March, 2008. - Followed by an acoustic tour, starting in Summer 2008.
