‘And Don't Spare The Horses’ is a dynamic journey through the ever-expanding world of The Eskies. Melodramatic tales of woe, betrayal, conflict, upheaval, rebellion, love, loss, fear and anger all wrapped in tongue-in-cheek irreverence and self-deprecation occasionally giving way to a flurry of triumphalism or whisper of introspection. This is the band’s second album after their critically acclaimed 2015 release 'After The Sherry Went Round' and leaps from genres as vast and varied as Folk, Klezmar and Yiddish to Rock, Swing and Blues and much in between. The elapsing two years since their maiden voyage into the world of long playing records have seen The Eskies tour in ten different countries, playing mainstage slots at both Glastonbury (Field Of Avalon) and Cambridge Folk Festival, appearing on RTE's Saturday Night Show, BBC Radio 4's 'Loose Ends' with Clive Anderson and BBC Radio 3's 'Essential Classics'. Renowned for their raucous live shows and fiercely passionate support; The Eskies took to the Orphan Studios, Dublin in early 2017, under the watchful gaze of 'Captain' Gavin Glass to document the last year and a half of their musical meanderings.
