AN APPOINTMENT WITH MR YEATS is the long-awaited new Waterboys show in which the poems of W.B. Yeats are turned into a luminous, shimmering collection of contemporary rock songs.

Featuring a ten-piece waterboys band comprising Mike Scott, Steve Wickham, James Hallawell (keys), Katie Kim (vocals), Joe Chester (guitar), Blaise Margail (trombone), Sarah Allen (flute), Ruby Ashley (oboe), Ash Soan (drums) and Marc Arciero (bass), the show opened to rave reviews from fans and critics alike in March 2010 at Dublin's Abbey Theatre, founded by Yeats himself a hundred years ago.

Now this exciting show plays further afield, with a tour of Ireland just completed and a run of UK shows on sale.

Several of the band snapped shots during the recent Appointment With Mr Yeats tour of the UK. We've gathered our favourites into a photo gallery. Click here to view.
