The Waterboys

Few bands have as great a live reputation as The Waterboys. From their mid-1980s “big music” period through the influential mix of Celtic, gospel and country on their classic _Fisherman’s Blues_ tours, to the hundreds of brilliant shows accompanying the last decade’s run of supremely in-form albums from 2011’s _An Appointment With Mr Yeats _to this summer’s _Good Luck, Seeker_ The Waterboys have consistently blended tightness, inspiration and improvisation to reach heights of performance few other acts can.  Led by mercurial and brilliant Scottish guitarist/vocalist Mike Scott, the 2020 version of the band features the established line-up of Memphis keyboard great “Brother” Paul Brown, ace British drummer Ralph Salmins and funky Irish bassman Aongus Ralston.
