Beggar & Co, an offshoot of the seminal British jazz-funk band Light of the World, has left a distinct mark on the music scene, particularly within the UK's vibrant jazz-funk movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Formed by some of the original members of Light of the World, including Kenny Wellington, David Baptiste, and Neville 'Breeze' McKrieth, Beggar & Co debuted with notable success thanks to their hit single "(Somebody) Help Me Out", which paved the way for their first album and carved a niche for their soulful, horn-driven melodies in the annals of British music history.

Their music catalog has expanded over the years, with significant releases that include 'Beggar & Co', 'If You Really Love Me EP', 'Open Sesame', 'Sleeping Giants', and '(Somebody) Help Me Out - Remixes'. These works underline the band’s commitment to evolving their sound while staying true to their jazz-funk roots. Their sound—characterized by rich brass arrangements, groovy basslines, and compelling rhythms—continues to resonate with fans old and new. Through their engaging live performances and musical craftsmanship, Beggar & Co has maintained a loyal following and an enduring legacy in the music industry.
