JOE’s Song Of The Day #609: The Eskies – ‘Shame’

The Eskies don't give a folk.

Hailing from Dublin, The Eskies bring their unique brand of folk noir/gypsy jazz/sea shanty and swaggering stage spectacle to ballrooms and booze houses far and wide. On the live music circuit, they are a fiercely sought after act. Last year saw them play over 40 festivals in 5 countries, tour Ireland, UK, Netherlands and Switzerland as well as being invited to the influential new music festival Eurosonic Festival. Other notable festival performances included Glastonbury Main Stage Avalon, Main Stage Cambridge and Bestival. They've released the latest track from their second album 'And Don't Spare The Horses', called 'Shame' and it's a toe-tapping,melody-infested, quirky lyrical showstopper. The Eskies are doing a few summer gigs around Ireland including Groove Festival in July. You can check out more details via their fancy website right here.
