You guys are an awesome group of musicians with an even greater name. The Lootbeggars!!!! Brilliant!!!!

Love Y'all!

@davearonow Thanks Dave... The name 'The Lootbeggers' was conceived by me especially for the Busking competition and it seems to have stuck. Our band play for an Appalacian step dance team called Bootleggers so I just changed a couple of letters round and it seemed very appropriate for the busking comp. We now too go out and play accoustic versions of songs by anyone from Jimmy Hendrix to Rolf Harris and everything in between! Great fun!

Great work, keep it up.

The Lootbeggers won the busking competition at Brigg fiddle fest 2008 in North Lincolnshire UK.. Phil Green on fiddle, Carl Hoeft on guitar, Sarah Green Double bass and Gerry Fillingham on mandola. The Lootbeggers are part of The Bootleggers Appalachian dance team based in Scunthorpe North Lincolnshire UK. This wonderful tune is a Cajun tune sometimes called Cajun fiddle, also known as Cajun Cookin'.
