Sligo Live Festival presents The Waterboys on Saturday 4th Nov 2023 in the Knocknarea Arena at ATU Sligo. Tickets €40 + s.c (standing) & €43 + s.c (limited seating). 

 

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, drummer Eamon Ferris, keyboardist James Hallawell and funky Irish bassman Aongus Ralston.
