Following triumphant shows in Glasgow and Dublin last week, The Waterboys will perform a very special show at The O2 London this Saturday, 12th September under the banner THE FISHERMAN'S BLUES REVUE.
The show celebrates and explores the music of the Waterboys' classic Fisherman's Blues era of the late 1980s.Legendary Waterboys fiddler Steve Wickhamwill rejoin the band for these shows, and in an exciting development the ensemble will be graced by the great American singer/songwriter Steve Earle, who will perform as a member of the Revue, singing his own songs while adding vocals, guitar and mandolin to Waterboys numbers.
Says Mike Scott of the upcoming London show: “The Fisherman’s era was a transcendent time for The Waterboys and it’s always exciting to delve into its spirit and see what happens. We’ll be performing with an eight-piece band including the mighty Steve Earle who I’ve wanted to do a project with for many years. He’ll bring Americana roots and killer songs to the party, and these promise to be among the best Waterboys shows ever.”
