British-Irish folk rock band The Waterboys is coming to the Iveagh Gardens for two sold-out gigs later this week.
From their mid-1980s “big music” period through the influential mix of Celtic, gospel and country on their classic Fisherman’s Blues tours, the Waterboys music has had a popular reach.
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.
