“It is not an overstatement to say that it was beyond my wildest dreams to be ‘Ordered by the Peaky Fucking Blinders’ to cover this beautiful song from Bob Dylan

Go raibh míle maith agat Peaky Blinders. Go raibh míle maith agat Cormac Begley, Colm Mac Con Iomaire agus Ruth O’Mahony Brady for whom without, this track would not exist. 

We recorded this version of ‘All the tired horses’ in an old horse stables in Cabinteely, South Dublin over the space of two days.  We recorded by constant candlelight as a dear friend was dying at the time. This all contributed to the energy and the charge of the final track. That friend has since passed.  

I wish to dedicate this song to Mick O’Grady –  The Long Distance Kid – 1943 – 2022”.
