The Waterboys

Throughout their long and varied career, two things have remained consistent about the Waterboys.

The first is Mike Scott, the second the quality of the music produced. That's been the case from the rock period, through raggle taggle and back again.

A good songwriter and tunesmith, Scott has always surrounded himself with top draw musicians that do the songs justice.

I've seen a few variations on this band and really look forward to catching this line up and it's acoustic flavours.

They've always been a band that seems to thrive on occasions and interact well with a crowd that's up for what they're delivering. The first two albums have just been re-released with a whole host of previously unheard gems, serving to whet the appitite further.
