A gig held at Bristol Beacon on Thursday 22nd May. The event starts at 20:00.
Tickets: https://bristolbeacon.org/whats-on/the-waterboys/
The Waterboys formed in the 80s and have been led by Scottish singer and guitarist Mike Scott ever since. The band’s evolution has seen countless line-ups and achieved a reputation for fearsome concert performances.
Indisputably one of the best live bands in the world, the 2024 version of The Waterboys features double keyboard players Brother Paul from Memphis and James Hallawell from Cornwall, and is grounded by killer Irish rhythm section Aongus Ralston (bass) and Eamon Ferris (drums). The group reconfigure music from all stages of the band’s career, from the early “big music” and roots-inspired ‘Fisherman’s Blues‘ era, to the run of genre-fluid records that have poured out since 2015’s swaggering ‘Modern Blues‘.
Taking in soul, funk, country-rock and any other kinds of music they care to play, expect drama, improvisation, musical fireworks and Waterboys classics such as ‘The Whole Of The Moon’, ‘How Long Will I Love You’ and ‘This Is The Sea’.
