Sorry to keep buggin' you! I see Westport has been added. Any other dates between June 22nd and July 2nd? Book tour r otherwise? That's when I'll be in Ireland vacationing and I would LOVE to incorporate that into my trip!!! If not I have to pray for Detroit show in the fall? Fingers crossed on both counts!

Wasn't it Karl Marx who said; i remember Doris Day before she was a virgin". I am trying to create a fan club in New York for the living members of APF supporters. I believe it was the year 1794 when I watched them play in a youth club in Aberdeen. Keep on keeping on sir. Onwards to Brooklyn in July!
Ps
Very much enjoying the book.

After the sensational Waterboys show at Hamer Hall in Melbourne in January, and my subsequent purchase of Mike's memoir, and my rediscovery of This Is The Sea and the (also subsequent) purchase of the remastered 2 CD set, I'm quite blown away.

I loved the An Introduction to Mr Yeats, but the rediscovery of Fisherman's Blues and especially This Is The Sea has been the major musical highlight of 2013!

There are times when your music together is something. Those catch me and I listen. Wanted to share something with you: I'm homeless but it doesn't matter anyway because I'm not really homeless; I have a home, its just this world isn't my home and here there is no enduring city. Its kind of weird... certainly on the edge a bit, because I find myself.... Ah, well, to end, you're not an idol, but wanted to share that your music together sometimes being really something... is what catches me and I really listen. Thank you!

The great news is that both audio and video will be available from the BBC site including 'bonus' material which will not fit into the two programs to be broadcasted.

Watch-out for an extract of the Whole of the Moon (in a raggle-taggle style) and a piano driven Savage Earth Heart.

I agree with the comment below - it was very relaxed and informal. I was unsure as to the value of the Q&A session but it worked well and was revealing.

I thought the Master-tapes recording at Radio 4 Maida Vale studios in London last night was one of the most surreal moments i have ever had. Mike and Steve where warm and welcoming it made one feel they were in your own home having a bit of a chin wag. WELL DONE Mike & Steve.

Looking at the list of members and I seem to think sinead o Connor guested a couple of times in 85/86.

Webteam writes:

Hi Nick,

The list of Waterboys members doesn't include people who came on as special guests for a song, like Sinead O'Connor did.

I would like to see again The Waterboys play live after 24 years. I attended a show in MIlan on Nov 1989, of which I just saw in the archive sections there is an incomplete setlist ens ing with "rest of setlist unknown". But I know it, cause I still have the tape of that concert. Not bad quality. But you keep on playing, Waterboys.

Cam Anderson, Canada

Well, I'm still in disbelief. Since university so many years ago, I've been a big fan and just never imagined the Waterboys in my hometown of Halifax! Got my tickets today and the countdown begins. The half Irish in me will show up that night. So thrilled !!!!
