The Waterboys rose to the fore of the folk-rock movement in the 80s, thanks to such huge anthems as "The Whole of the Moon" plus "And a Bang on the Ear". The British-Irish band currently consists of Mike Scott (vocals, guitar, piano), James Hallawell (keys), Brother Paul Brown (keys, backing vocals), Aongus Ralston (bass) and Eamon Ferris (drums).
Their albums include the gold-certified Fisherman's Blues (1988), plus silver-selling records This Is the Sea (1985), Room to Roam (1990) and Dream Harder (1993).
Venue, sound, set list everything fantastic. Outstanding band with a fabulous back catalogue at the top of their game.

Never disappoints. Always high energy; great interaction between the band; and a just a fantastic night out. Seen them a few times now, and happy to see them many more.

The venue at Warwick was superb, the Waterford just awesome with lots of new tracks mixed with a few favourites and the show just went on and on! Excellent value, but ticket sales were not handled correctly. When I was looking to book, it showed numerous seats around me were booked, so I had to settle for two that were not ideal. The show was only about two thirds sold, so we were able to move around the venue and sit elsewhere. Maybe Warwick only released certain batches to gigantic, but whatever went wrong with the ticket sales was made up for on the night. Looking to book again 👍.

The band were amazing, not dated at all. So much energy and connection with the audience. Great venue. Super sound and lighting. All in all, one of the best gigs I’ve been to. Thank you.
