About Me |

The Waterboys belong to no movement, genre, school or fashion. We play Waterboys music - and good luck to any brave person who tries to categorise it. We've been based in London, Dublin, Galway, New York and Findhorn, Scotland, and we've made 12 albums: The Waterboys (1983), A Pagan Place (84), This Is The Sea (85), Fisherman's Blues (88), Room To Roam (90), Dream Harder (93), Secret Life Of The Waterboys (94), A Rock In The Weary Land (2000), Too Close To Heaven (01), Universal Hall (03), Karma To Burn: The Waterboys Live (05) and Book Of Lightning (07), plus Mike Scott's two solos: Bring 'Em All In (95) and Still Burning (97). Over 40 players have served in this band: rockers, groovers, popsters and folkies, explorers and traditionalists, dreamers and doubters, heart warriors and mercenaries, some for days, some for years. Where are we going? We follow the twists and trails of the music wherever it leads, wherever the adventure unfolds. The current ensemble is Mike Scott on vocals and guitar, Steve Wickham on electric fiddle, Richard Naiff playing keyboards, bassist Mark Smith and drummer Damon Wilson. You're welcome to hang out with us here on our little island of cyberspace ~ or come dance and dream with us in the physical world at a town near you soon. |
