The Waterboys is an iconic British-Irish folk rock, Celtic rock, and post-punk band formed in Edinburgh and London in 1983 by Scottish visionary singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mike Scott. Renowned for their majestic, literary 'Big Music' sound and later pioneering immersion into traditional Irish folk, The Waterboys stand among the most influential Celtic rock acts in history.
Their landmark 1985 album 'This Is the Sea' produced the timeless worldwide classic anthem 'The Whole of the Moon' (Ivor Novello Award winner), while their legendary 1988 masterpiece 'Fisherman's Blues' redefined modern folk rock by fusing acoustic fiddles, mandolins, and accordions with rock and roll passion. Other classic tracks include 'A Girl Called Johnny', 'How Long Will I Love You?', and 'Red Army Blues'.
Over four decades of prolific recording and global touring, Mike Scott has collaborated with legendary musicians including fiddler Steve Wickham and saxophonist Anthony Thistlethwaite.
For guitarists, mandolinists, and folk musicians worldwide, The Waterboys' repertoire provides essential acoustic chord progressions (such as the joyful D - G - A - G changes in 'Fisherman's Blues') and poetic balladry that are played in venues and sessions globally.
