The Waterboys were founded by Mike Scott in 1983 in Edinburgh and have developed their sound throughout their career, crossing genres including folk, rock and alternative.

The Waterboys are a rock band originating from Edinburgh, Scotland and were formed in 1983 by Mike Scott. The line up, location and style of the band has changed over their long career yet there has been a consistent mixture of celtic rock with traditional rock & roll. They worked together as a band for seven years before disbanding in 1990 as Scott pursued a solo career before reforming in 2000 due to popular demand.

The band's sound in it's origins was considered 'Big Music' and received very well by critics, they followed this by a period where they branched into folk music and put an emphasis on touring with a very large number of musicians which many described as a 'raggle taggle band'. They moved onto a more mainstream rock and roll sound for the Dream Harder release before they dissolved the band, when they reformed in 2000 they seemed to take influences from all aspects of their early musical styles.

Mike Scott is the original founder of The Waterboys and the only constant member. In 1983 he was singed to Ensign Records after recording solo demos and working with a number of bands and musicians, the label were expecting the first release from Scott to be a solo effort yet instead he chose to found his new band which is named after a line in the Lou Reed song 'The Kids'. The band didn't achieve commercial success until their 1985 album 'This Is The Sea' broke the UK top 40 in the Albums Chart, however the debut and follow up established The Waterboys as a new force in music and their effortless touring schedule won them fans across the world, the third LP did particularly well in New Zealand, charting within the top 10 of their album chart.

Their next album 'Fisherman's Blues' which was releasd in 1988 during the folk heavy 'raggle taggle' phase charted at 13 in the UK charts and also broke the top 100 in the US due to their tireless touring worldwide, it has now been certified as a gold selling record in the UK. It included a heavier Irish influence which came from the decision to record in Spiddal and feature many guest musicians who the band had played with in Dublin and the surrounding areas. Disputes within the band followed this, as Scott was adamant about the direction of The Waterboys' sound, he recorded the 1993 album 'Dream Harder' as a solo member of the band with the accompaniment of session musicians. However after he failed to establish a new touring line up, he abandoned the project and pursued solo work. However in 2000, to fans surprise and delight The Waterboys returned with a new sonic rock sound inspired by contemporaries such as Beck & Radiohead. The band have continued to release new solo material and tour since then.

Live reviews

I've been a Waterboys-Mike Scott fan for a very long time and I've seen them in concert at least 5 or 6 times over the decades starting with A Pagan Place back in 1984. Regretfully though I have to pan last nights show at The Fillmore in San Francisco. I had heard that the show was going to be an evening with, so no opening band and a longer setlist going back to their earliest albums. Full disclosure, I still consider their first 4 LPs, from the self-titled through Fisherman's Blues their finest and Mike Scott at his most brilliant. Of the first three LPs they played only 3 songs and nothing from what I feel is Scott's most brilliant work, A Pagan Place. When you include Fisherman's Blues (3 songs), that leaves the entire remaining setlist spread out over their last 3 LPs, which I feel have taken the band so far afield of their original "sound", whether The Big Music or the Fisherman's Blues style modern celtic-folk-rock. Basically the band has devolved into a kitchy pop-country style with really lame lyrical content, Disagree? Listen to the lyric of London Mick or Nearest Thing To Hip, two of the worst songs Mike Scott has ever written. Mick Jones was spinning in his grave last night I'm sure as The Waterboys performed a song in his name that represented everything in Rock music that The Clash despised. Were there some high points? Of course there were. A Girl Called Johnny, Medicine Bow, and the show stealer and high point of the evening was We Will Not Be Lovers. Unfortunate that they dropped Old England from the set-list. And the closing encore of Whole of the Moon was energetic and a crowd pleaser but replacing the original horns with the electric violin just ruined the song. Of the material from the last 3 LPs which made up the rest of the show (I'll get to the Rolling Stones cover in a second), the highlights were Morning Came Too Soon, November Tale and Ladbrooke Grove Symphony. I understand the band does not want to live in the past, but they have so much good material from other LPs that were left off the setlist in favor of promoting songs from the last three LPs, which are not full of great songs to say the least. And the songs selected from the last three LPs were not the best from those records. Thank God he did not play the Hip-Hop song from Out Of All This Blue. But let's be positive, here's some tips on a better show for your fans. 1. Why on earth, with your tremendous back catalogue would you play a cover of an obscure country western song by the Rolling Stones 4 songs into your set? Have you lost you freaking mind? Did you not notice the deflated energy in the crowd? 2. If you cannot remember the lyrics to even the songs you have been playing for over 25 years (Fisherman's Blues) you should consider retiring from live performances. With the exception of the older songs he performed at the keyboards, Mike read the lyrics from a teleprompter on the floor the entire set. No eye contact with the audience while performing, and with some songs dense with lyrics, particularly from the recent LPs, the performance was lack luster and seemed staged and stilted, he was reading the lyrics not performing from his gut. 3. Fire your lighting director. I was standing dead center about ten people deep from the stage and the super bright spot light on Mike center stage every time he came to the microphone washed the entire front section in harsh light and reflected off of the kick drum right back into the audience. Furthermore it was way too bright. I could see every grey hair on Mike's head and every wrinkle on his face. And it just made the lyric reading more obvious. Subtle songs that required a quieter mood were ruined by the obnoxious spot light. 4. Stop the yammering and just play for God's sake. Too many long ridiculas banter sessions that were just down right embarrassing to watch. 5. Fire the keyboard player from Memphis. What the hell was that keyboard around his neck stunt, just pure lameness. 6.Limit the jam sessions please. If I wanted to see a jam band I'd go see Wilco. There is no need to take a perfectly good 4-5 minute song and stretch it out to 10 minutes long or more with repeated false endings, again, it came across lame and gimmicky. 7. And finally, pick a song people know for your closing number. My Time On Earth, which closed the second set (before the encore) was not only unfamiliar to most of the fans but recalled the worst of Mike's habit of preaching Christian dogma in his lyrics. I have no problem with the spirituality that has always underscored The Waterboys (Think Whole of the Moon, A Pagan Place, Savage Earth Heart, etc), but ever since Mike found God in the 1990s his has occasionally allowed his syrupy Born Again Christian blather to seep into and take control over some of his musical output and that is a shame, and it was clearly on display last night, especially when he threatened a fan in the front row who "blew pot smoke" at him (probably unintentionally). It was just one lame, awkward moment during a night full of them.

The Waterboys have the knack for blending in Celtic music with rock music, and making it sound like their own unique brand of music.

Mike Scott is the driving force behind the Waterboys’ music. He has the enthusiasm and tenacity of Bruce Springsteen and the literary diction of C.S. Lewis. The Waterboys deliver a highly energetic performance. Mike Scott aggressively strums his electric guitar, playing loud, distorted bar-chords and shredding it up on his intricate guitar solos. They also incorporate interesting instruments into their sound such as the fiddle and keyboards. The fiddle playing adds a strong Celtic sound to the music. Sometimes the band will break into strongly influenced Celtic music with a strong emphasis on the fiddle as well as accompaniment by the flute. During these songs Mike Scott will break into a Celtic dance that you might see portrayed in one of the Lord of the Rings’ movies. The keyboards are also a major part of the sound that creates an angular rhythm and creates a larger sound when the organ is used.

The Waterboys are very energetic on stage, pouring all their enthusiasm into rocking out on their instruments. Their stage theatrics are also quite epic with smoke filling the stage and bright, colorful lights flashing all over. The band members also sometimes wear Celtic type attire including ornate, decorative jackets with unique colors and designs incorporated into the jackets. They also have interesting, mythological artwork and displays presented on stage. The Waterboys music has been very influential amongst the rock and roll scene having influenced many talented musicians such as Eddie Vedder, The Decemberists, and Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead.

The Waterboys’ setlist is sure to impress all their fans. They play hit songs spanning their whole career as well as throwing in some fun Celtic traditional music into their setlist. If given the chance to see these guys live, you definitely should seize the opportunity and witness their unique and inspirational performance.

Folk rock outfit The Waterboys are something of an iconic band in the modern day due to their music and sound having influenced so many modern contemporaries who have gone on to enjoy glittering careers of their own. Having formed over three decades ago, all the musicians onstage are incredibly well practised and have real ability with their instruments.

Fans old and new cheer in unison at the arrival of the band as they step out onto a sparse stage, there are no visuals or decoration to distract from the music tonight and it is exactly how performer and patron would have it. When you have songs as momentous as 'The Whole of the Moon' and 'Fisherman's Song' you really do not need much else to add to the overall emotional gravity of the situation. The band pays homage to their many appearances at the UK's most prolific festival with 'Glastonbury Song' before re-imagining 'Purple Rain' by Prince, perhaps an unlikely cover on the surface but it well and truly works. The whole room is applauding rapturously by the finale to 'How Long Will I Love You?' as this legendary band have really cemented their reputation this evening.

This was the second ‘Out of all this Blue’ tour and the newer tracks are fitting in well to The Waterboys set list. With no support and two sets, there was the opportunity to fit in more early songs as well as a good representation of the last two albums. The first set opened with Medicine Bow,

All The Things She Gave Me, If the Answer Is Yeah, A Girl Called Johnny, We Will Not Be Lovers, Nashville Tennessee, Still a Freak, Man What a Woman, and finished with an epic version of Morning Came Too Soon. The second set up opened with the less played The Christ in You, before When Ye Go Away / Dunford's Fancy, Nearest Thing to Hip, Santa Fe, Too Close to Heaven, The Raggle Taggle Gypsy, Don't Bang the Drum, Long Strange Golden Road. The encore brought out the big favourites of, The Whole of the Moon, How Long Will I Love You?, and Fisherman's Blues.

They are the best most fantastic band, ever. I saw the Beatles when I was thirteen in Baltimore, Maryland, the

stones in Virginia on their Steel wheels tour, but the Waterboys in Philly were out of this world!

I also lived in wonderful Scotland and spent time in Findhorn, where I understand Mike is a regular. The music that these young men produce is just magical and has enriched my life. My husband and I are going to see them in September in Chicago and I can't wait. The Whole of the Moon is the most amazing. I was making harps in Beauley, Scotland in 1985 and could not get enough of that song

More power to you lads. Oh I also lived in Spiddal and hung at Hugh's where you played in sessions. Thanks so much for it all. Love you,

Cait Gilles

The band is so great live and what a show at such an historic place. The crowd was not very large and the energy was intimate and positive.

The song list at the forefront was supporting the new record Modern Blues which was fantastic live. I saw them at the Civic in New Orleans not that long ago and maybe 3 to 4 songs were duplicated. It was cool to see such a different show and dynamic from the band. Not only were the shows different but the band's vibe.

THE BEST LIVE CONCERT I have seen this year. The opening act THE BLUEBONNETS were fantastic. Bluesy guitar rifts with a jumping bass and back beat. The Waterboys new material was upbeat and engaging..and PURPLE RAIN during the encore was brilliant. I had shivers the entire evening feeling like I was a part of a musical event that will be referenced for a long time. Love it!

A terrific performance,truly brilliant.The amazing reworking of "Don't bang the drum" was awe inspiring. If you get the chance to see them live, do it. The mix of old and new was beautifully done and the finale song,"Purple Rain", obviously one of Mike's favorites was teriffic, better than Prince.

היתה הופעה גרועה ביותר .

סדר השירים השאיר אותנו די משועומממים ואת רוב הקהל .

גם שסוף סוף נהגנו משהוא מוכר זה היה בסוף.

האולם היה נהדר סאונד מצוין .

Excellent sold out show especially as it was an extended set with the band performing as their own support.

Great mix of songs both old and new, Whole of the Moon and Fishermans Blues brought the house down to finish the set.

Can't wait till they are back in town again!

Everything you need to know about the band’s gigs on thursday, july 13th and friday, july 14th.

Rocking since 1981, British-Irish folk rock band The Waterboys are showing no signs of stopping and are back in Dublin for two gigs at the Iveagh Gardens .

Having had more than 70 members in its lifetime, the current iteration of the band is led by original member Mike Scott and includes Memphis keyboard player “Brother” Paul Brown, pianist James Holliwell, drummer Eamon Ferris and bassist Aongus Ralston.

The band performed at Live at the Marquee in Cork in June where they played all their hits, from Whole of the Moon and How Long Will I Love You?, to Fisherman’s Blues and When Ye Go Away. So, what can we expect from their Dublin concerts this weekend?

When do they play?

The concerts are at Iveagh Gardens, off Dublin’s Harcourt Street, on Thursday, July 13th and Friday, July 14th.

What time should I arrive?

Entry to the event will be via the Clonmel Street gate, which will open at 6.30pm. Early queuing is not permitted and concertgoers have been asked to respect the property and privacy of residents in the area.

Who is the support act?

Warming up the stage for The Waterboys is Dublin-born musician David Kitt, also known by his electronic alter-ego New Jackson. Kitt is lined up for the Iveagh Gardens gigs after recently releasing Idiot Check , his ninth studio album.

Stage times

On Thursday and Friday, David Kitt is set to take to the stage at 7.30pm, with The Waterboys down to take over an hour later at 8.30pm. However, times are subject to change so keep an eye on the promoter’s website for updates.

How do I get there – and home again?

There is no car parking available at the event, however, there are car parks dotted around the city centre. The closest is Q-Park at Stephens Green Shopping Centre. Pre-booking is available at q-park.ie .

Luas, bus and rail transport options can all bring you within a short walk of the venue. Plan your journey online from anywhere in Ireland via the journey planner at transportforireland.ie .

What will The Waterboys play?

The Waterboys’ set from a concert in late June in Greece featured a full roster of hits from their back catalogue:

• Don’t Bang The Drum
• Where the Action Is
• Glastonbury Song
• How Long Will I Love You
• Ladbroke Grove Symphony
• A Girl Called Johnny
• This Is The Sea
• Blackberry Girl
• When Ye Go Away
• Fisherman’s Blues
• The Return of Pan
• The Pan Within
• My Wanderings in the Weary Land
• Medicine Bow
• Be My Enemy
• In My Time On Earth
• Encore: And A Bang On The Ear; The Whole Of The Moon

Are there any tickets left?

Unfortunately tickets are sold out. However, the band are scheduled to play in Kerry, Sligo and Meath later this year, so grab tickets while they are still available.

What’s the story with security?

All under-18s must be accompanied by an adult. Only bags under A4 size will be permitted in to the venue and bags will be subject to a search.

Items not permitted include: Any article that may be used as a weapon, bottles, cans, flasks, frisbees, illegal substances, scooters, skateboards, flag poles, selfie sticks, flares, laser devices, prams/push chairs, inflatable and folding chairs, large suitcases/rucksacks, laptops, illegal merchandise items, umbrellas, hampers, cold boxes, air horns, alcohol, drinks, food and animals (except service dogs and guide dogs).

There will be food and drink available to purchase on site but fans should note it is a cashless venue and there is no ATM on site, so make sure to bring card payment or keep your phone charged for electronic cards.

Any person deemed to be offensive or abusive, or who may compromise public safety, will not be admitted and may be reported to gardaí. There will be a first aid post at the venue staffed by trained medics.

Can I take photographs at the concert?

Yes, but not with a professional camera including those with a detachable lens.

What’s the weather forecast?

Met Éireann is forecasting rain on Thursday with highs of 15 degrees. It will be a wet one on Friday too, but slightly warmer with temperatures of up to 17 degrees. Make sure to bring a raincoat, it is The Waterboys after all.
