Sleevenotes by Mike Scott. This Is The Sea, released in October 1985, is the final, fully realised expression of the early Waterboys sound begun on the albums The Waterboys and A Pagan Place.I produced parts of the record myself, and the rest in collaboration with either Mick Glossop or John Brand - two English engineer/producers.THE WATERBOYS
The adventure began when I met the Fiddler. I was ready for him too. The sound had been in my head for months and I'd already tried a couple of players but when I heard Steve playing on Sinead O'Connor's demo tape I knew straight away this was the guy.THE WATERBOYS
This Is The Sea was a lavishly produced record, and journalists came to refer to its sound and style as "the big music", borrowing that name from a song on the previous Waterboys record A Pagan Place. But the first recordings for the album, in the early spring of 1985, were a series of simple piano/vocal demos.THE WATERBOYS
The Connemara people are fiercely independent. They ran their own pirate TV station in the 1970’s and take great pride in their language and their culture. The Waterboys recordings took place at Spiddal House, but the band and crew lived in various holiday houses dotted around the village.THE WATERBOYS

Imagination is the beginning of all creativity, all inventions, all civilizations, all human activity. Imagination is an incredible vast power - its evidence is all around us. As to the question of whether imagination harnessed in meditation has any effect, for me this is a matter of faith. Faith is part of the equation.THE WATERBOYS

NEW TRACK LIVE TODAY AND NEW ALBUM ANNOUNCEMENT! The Waterboys return this summer with their 14th studio album GOOD LUCK, SEEKER. The first track to go live, today, is the seven-minute mash-up manifesto MY WANDERINGS IN THE WEARY LAND. Comprising dramatic spoken-word delivery over wild genre-busting music, ‘My Wanderings In The Weary Land’ might just be the greatest rock’n’roll record ever made – and one that is darkly appropriate for our weird, wired times. Is it psychedelic soul? Is it trance? Is it punk? Is it poetry? Whatever it is, it’s the first taste of Good Luck, Seeker, which will be released on August 21 via Cooking Vinyl. Listen to MY WANDERINGS IN THE WEARY LAND HERE.

MATTHEW SELIGMAN (1955-2020) British musician and sometime Waterboys bassist Matthew Seligman has died from complications arising from Coronavirus. Matthew came into the early Waterboys orbit after playing with Anthony Thistlethwaite in The Soft Boys. On Anthony's recommendation, Matthew was asked to join Mike Scott's pre-Waterboys band The Red And The Black for whom he made five live appearances around London in 1982. Matthew was later recalled to play bass on Be My Enemy on the album This Is The Sea and also gave Mike the title The Crash Of Angel Wings which finally turned into a song on 2007's Book Of Lightning. Matthew's best known work was with Thomas Dolby and he also played with David Bowie at Live Aid and with many other acts and bands. Mike tweeted that Matthew was a "true gentleman" and added: "The last time I saw him, strangely enough, was at Mark Smith's funeral in 2009 - another Waterboys bass player passing on. We sat together and talked about old days. I'll always remember Matthew as a very kind man, and as a brilliant, fluid bass player - easily the best bassist I'd ever played with when I first met him. He cut a dash too in his elongated paisley jacket, like a long louche cat onstage. Later he became a barrister and human rights lawyer - so he was also a cat who could excel in different worlds."APR

THE WINKLES TAPES - SHARON SHANNON'S FIRST RECORDINGS Mike Scott was present when Sharon Shannon's first recordings were made in the west of Ireland back in 1989. The sessions featured Sharon's accordion and fiddle, Donal Lunny and Eoin O'Neill on bouzouki, Mike on bodhran and many other great musicians playing together in a relaxed but wild atmosphere - and all captured in beautiful sound. The recording weren't released at the time because Sharon joined the Waterboys and toured for a year. By then her music had changed. The "Winkles Tapes" remained in a dusty box for 30 years until six months ago Mike went through them and assembled an album of the best performances. "It is some of the best Irish trad music ever made" he told us, "a charismatic performer at the early peak of her powers, backed by some of the all-time greats including the old master Donal Lunny. It was an incredible scene to witness and be a small part of, and I'm happy to help bring it to you now". Mike himself features, playing bodhran on the track Bonnie Kate. The album is available to buy, download or stream HERE and below is Mike's longer description of the sessions, extracted from his book Adventures Of A Waterboy.NOV

WINKLES '89
The Waterboys had released Fisherman's Blues six months before. We were deep in our Irish/Scottish/Celtic adventure, and word had reached us of a remarkable young button accordion musician called Sharon Shannon. Our soundman, John Dunford, was working with her and invited Wickham and I to her first recording session in the village of Kinvara, a funky hamlet on the west coast of Ireland. The venue was Winkles, a long dark bar with décor from the 1950s or ‘60s. At the front end a circle of musicians was gathered, led by the twenty-year-old Sharon, who hurtled through set after set of exquisitely played tunes, notes scattering from her fingers like machine gun fire, an impossibly fast but exquisitely articulated stream of music. I’d never considered the idea that an accordion player could be a star, yet here was the reality. She sat on a low chair, bobbing her head as if to say “Hello, isn’t this fun!”, welcoming all to her music with a magnetic smile, while functioning as the dynamo in the centre of an ever-changing group of musical backers: Donal Lunny strumming his bouzouki as always like a happy clockwork toy; the kindly giant Eoin O’Neill on his; guitar picker Gerry O'Beirne. The topline accompanists - whistlers, fiddlers, flute players - revolved as well, each taking their turn to partner Sharon. Even U2’s Adam Clayton, entering the scene with an air of genial bemusement, added some bass to a set. Sharon's younger sister, Mary, a freckled, banjo-playing sprite, was there too, and when Sharon switched to fiddle, the two led the ensemble in a series of rattling, shattering reels that seemed never to end, each tune leaping higher then the last in a music as wild and promethean as any rock and roll.NOV

#FEMALEPLEASURE - MOVIE FEATURING MEGUMI AND MIKE The film #femalepleasure tells the story of 5 female activists, including Mike's wife Megumi Igarashi, also known as Rokudenashiko. Megumi was jailed for her art in Japan under patriarchal obscenity laws, and when the story was reported worldwide Mike read about her which led to their meeting and marrying in 2016. Her story is retold by director Barbara Miller in #femalepleasure along with those of Dr Leyla Hussein, Deborah Feldman, Doris Wagner and Vithika Yadav. All their stories are inspiring and the movie is highly recommended. There are also a few short appearances by Mike, including a clip of him singing the song Rokudenashiko. The film is currently showing at East Village Film Center, New York and will be playing at arthouse cinemas in many countries - so watch your neighbourhood cinema notices.OCT

WATERBOYS COMPLETE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR A note from Mike Scott: Thank you to everyone who came to see us on what was our 11th North American tour. We played to great audiences and were thrilled to make music for you. We also want to thank Neil Mahony and Jeff Adams who stepped in when our bassist Aongus Ralston was recalled to Dublin. Aongus' brother, our great friend and colleague Gavin died of cancer on September 22nd. Tragedy also touched Brother Paul whose brother Pete died in Memphis on 10th October. Both Aongus and Paul were able to get home to be with their brothers before they died, and we're grateful for that. Logistics and great tour management by Keith Anderson made both possible. I'd also like to thank our show crew - Production Managers Neil and Stu, lighting man Donal, onstage sound cat Doug, stageside tech Aaron and our fab merchandising lady Annie. What a pleasure to roam the new world with them all. Thanks also to our great management Gold Village, who oversaw everything with their usual care and dedication. Lastly thanks to our guests - the great Earl Slick who played lead guitar on Whole Of The Moon and Dead Flowers in New York, my songwriting partner James Maddock who sang and strummed on Novemeber Tale and Nearest Thing To Hip also in NY, and Irakli Gabriel and Anana Kaye who played and sang on Rosalind and Purple Rain at the second show in Chicago. Anana also filmed the version of In My Time On Earth that you can view HERE or on the link below: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/TGEZWUZPVMS You can read some show reviews from various cities by visiting thelinks below:

GAVIN P. RALSTON 1970-2019 The Waterboys extend their condolences to the family of Gavin Ralston, their great friend, colleague and brother of Waterboys bassist Aongus. Gavin died last week after a long and spirited battle against cancer. Gavin played in Mike's 1997 "Still Burning" band and worked on Steve Wickham's solo music, as well as contributing to recordings with Sharon Shannon, Mundy, Picturehouse and many other Irish artists. As recently as April he played with The Waterboys at the Gig For Gav, held in his honour and to raise funds for his health coverage. Some photos from the show are above. Said Mike Scott: "Gavin was an amazing man: talented, funny, positive, a cool dresser and wonderful friend. We will all miss him."OCT

A CELEBRATION OF STEVE WICKHAM ON SPOTIFY Mike has compiled a new Waterboys Spotify playlist in honour of STEVE WICKHAM, which runs chronologically from 1985-2019. It contains many of Steve's greatest solos, accompaniments and moments. Few bands are blessed with a creative soloist as fine as Steve Wickham. His fiddle has darted and danced through the sound of The Waterboys for thirty-five years in a variety of wonderful guises- wild, gentle, fuzzed, rustic, orchestral, psychedelic and straight down the line rock and roll. Sometimes it blends with Steve’s own harmonica, as on “Nobody ‘Cept You”, sometimes with Anthony Thistlethwaite’s sax or mandolin, sometimes with Mike Scott’s lead guitar or Brother Paul’s keyboards. This is a collection of 20 of Steve’s greatest moments, brilliant solos and most fabulous accompaniments over the years. You can hear it HERE.

NORTHAMPTON DATE CHANGE The Waterboys show at The Calvin Theatre, Northampton, has been changed from Friday 20th September to Thursday 19th September. All tickets already purchased for the 20th will of course be valid for the 19th. The reason is to accommodate a radio broadcast concert on New York station WFUV on the 24th. Moving the Northampton date means the band will now play 6 shows in a row, not 7. Mike Scott says "I can't sing 7 nights in a row without losing some of my voice, so we've moved The Calvin by a day which makes a big difference. We need this broadcast because wide radio promotion isn't something we often get offered in North America. I'm really sorry that this means everyone who bought tickets to The Calvin has to bring their night out forward by a day, especially as the original date was a Friday. We will pull out all the stops to make it up to you and will make The Calvin a super special show". _Contact Northampton Box Office at 413-586-8686 during normal business hours (10-6 Mon-Sat & 12-5 Sun) with any questions or to buy tickets for the show if you haven't already._AUG

MIKE MEETS THE ROCKERS UPTOWN On the Sunday after playing Fujirock with The Waterboys, Mike Scott went to Harajuku to meet and hang out with the STRANGERS, the rock and roll club who are featured dancing on the recent video for London Mick. He told us: "When I made the film of the Strangers dancing back in February I didn't know them and they didn't know me, but yesterday when I arrived they gave me a wonderfully warm welcome and I had the honour of being introduced to every member of the club by their leader Kazuyo Inui. Then the club founder, Mr Jess Yamanaka, arrived with great charisma. I could feel the true spirit of rock and roll radiating from them. They presented me a club T shirt and rocker's comb and we all posed for photos together. That's Yamanaka san beside me with the pale hat and Kazuyo Inui on my other side, with collarup."

OUT OF ALL THIS BLUE IS OUT NOW! We are thrilled to announce the release of the new and highly anticipated Waterboys double album OUT OF ALL THIS BLUE on BMGRecords.
Mike Scott says, "Out Of All This Blue always wanted to be a double album, even before I wrote the songs. So I took a leap into the dark and the songs came, first a few then a flood, in colours of pop, funk, soul even a little country and French chanson. And when I selected from them for the album there was only one standard - each song had to be good enough to make it onto a top class single Waterboys album. Listen loud and listen long, and I hope you love it." You can order OUT OF ALL THIS BLUE HERE.SEP

OUT OF ALL THIS BLUE, NEW DOUBLE ALBUM, SEPT 8 ON BMG RECORDS. The Waterboys will release their brand-new studio double album Out Of All This Blue on September 8 2017; their first for BMG Records, with whom they recently signed. Produced by Mike Scott and recorded in Dublin and Tokyo, Out Of All This Blue will be available on Double CD and Double Vinyl, pluse Deluxe Triple CD (including Bonus Tracks) and Deluxe Triple Vinyl (including Bonus Tracks) and Digital. Out Of All This Blue is The Waterboys most exploratory recording yet, comprising 23 songs with Mike Scott's trademark sharp lyrics set to pop music with echoes of classic R&B, country, soul and funk and underpinned by modern hiphop production values and rhythms. String & brass sections were arranged and conducted by Trey Pollard of The Spacebomb Collective. Mike Scott says of the record: "Out Of All This Blue is 2/3 love and romance, 1/3 stories and observations. I knew from the beginning I wanted to make a double album, and lucky for me - and I hope the listener - the songs just kept coming, and in popcolours."

MIKE'S SONG IN SUPPORT OF MEGUMI IGARASHI Mike Scott has written a song called ROK ROK ROKUDENASHIKO in support of Megumi Igarashi, the Japanese visual artist, also known as "Rokudenashiko", who is currently on trial in Japan on obscenity charges. Says Mike: "Rokudenashiko is a brave artist, and her work, which celebrates the vagina in a playful way, isn't obscene at all. She's fighting a form of state censorship, and doing it on her own without any corporate or company backing. As a fellow artist, I support her. She's also great fun and that inspired me to write a mischievous slice of psychedelic funk in her honour". To hear thetrack click HERE

further information on Rokudenashiko's case, click HERE.

BROTHER PAUL AND AGRELIA'S CASTLE Waterboys' keyboard player Brother Paul has recorded a CD of new age music with his wife April. They recorded it under the name AGRELIA'S CASTLE and the CD is titled ELDERS AND ANCESTORS, set for release on 1st September. April's Native American-style flute and vocals are blended with Brother Paul's soundscapes. We asked Mike Scott if he'd heard it and he emailed: "Yeah. That's the music Brother Paul played in his car every day when we were making Modern Blues. He'd pick me up at the hotel and when I got in the car it was like stepping into a parallel world of this gorgeous hypnotic healing music, totally different from Paul's rock and roll but still beautiful. And April sings like an earth angel." You can stream a track and order ELDERSAND ANCESTORS HERE

WHAT HAVE THE WATERBOYS BEEN DOING SINCE THE LAST SHOWS? We asked and this is what we found out: DAVID played bass with Mavis Staples at the concert at Renaissance Hotel, Montgomery, Alabama to mark the 50th anniversary of the Selma civil rights march, in Montogomery, Alabama. Photo of David and Mavis backstage by Judy Hood. ZACH'S adventures at home in Austin, Texas included completing the 2nd album by vintage gospel band The Relatives, which he produced; playing with Texas soul legends Bobby Patterson & Barbara Lynn at music club C-Boy's Heart & Soul; and logging time at his 'day job' booking acts into the Paramount Theatre, including Allen Toussaint, Mavis Staples, Smokey Robinson, Dr. John and...The Waterboys. RALPH played a show with the BBC Concert Orchestra celebrating Billie Holliday and featuring veteran soul singer Madeline Bell. He recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra featuring solo violinist Anne Akiko Meyers; and did sessions for British singer Robbie Williams. Between times he's been teaching at The Royal College of Music and Guildhall School of Music & Drama, London. STEVE played a show in Manorhamilton, Ireland with the Sligo Baroque Orchestra & Congolese group Tropicana Musica. He did a solo Concert in Rosselare, Belgium (fiddle tunes and a few songs), plus concerts with his "other band" NoCrows in Flanders and Sligo. And a duet performance with German saxophonist Norbert Vollath at the Model Art Centre,Sligo.
BROTHER PAUL completed a New Age album, Elders And Ancestors, with his wife April, who plays flute in the Native American style and sings. They call themselves Agrelia's Castle and the album is out in September. The photo shows April and Paul. Paul's been mixing sound for a DVD of the commemoration concert for US rock guitar legend Dick Wagner, at which he also played.

Fresh to the ranks are Memphis keyboard player “Brother” Paul Brown and David Hood, legendary bassist from Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Additional lead guitars are played by 2013 US Waterboy Jay Barclay and Austin soul guitarist Zach Ernst. Guest backing vocalists include southern soul legend Don Bryant.

TWO SPECIAL SHOWS IN AMSTERDAM THIS DECEMBER The Waterboys will play two concerts on the 5th and 6th of December at Paradiso in Amsterdam, which will be filmed for inclusion in the upcoming Robert Jan Westdijk film “Waterboys”. During these shows, concert footage of the band and the audience will be made for the film which will be released next year. These will be very special shows in a smaller, more intimate venue than the band would normally play. Director Robert Jan Westdijk is proud and amazed: "It all started with an e-mail in which I wrote that I've been a fan since the 80s and that I was about to make a road movie about a father and son who come closer together through the music of The Waterboys. Not much later I was in Dublin facing my musical hero Mike Scott. He responded enthusiastically and two months later, it was agreed." Westdijk emphasises that the experience of the concert will not be affected by the film recordings: "I want to record the concerts in the way a fan experiences the concert, so I trust the participation of the realWaterboys fans."
Support for these shows will be provided by Freddie Stevenson. Doors open at 19:00 and support begins at 19:30. Sales to the general public begin on Sat 6 Sept at 10am and will be available for 5 Dec hereandfor the 6th here
