The Waterboys and CHSq

Edinburgh-born Mike Scott formed the Waterboys in London in the '80s, blending soulful rock, folk, and Celtic sounds. Known for "The Whole of the Moon," their work spans genres, with acclaimed albums like *This Is the Sea* and *Fisherman's Blues*. Frequent collaborator Steve Wickham and Scott's dynamic line-up changes define their sound evolution. The band explored W.B. Yeats' poetry in 2011, and in 2022, *All Souls Hill* saw them dive into hip-hop influences.
