The Waterboys with Goliath, Nati Dreddd, and more

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.

Scottish indie-folk band Admiral Fallow, known for melodic, intricate songs, gained acclaim with albums like *Boots Met My Face* and *Tree Bursts In Snow*. They've toured UK festivals, supported The Proclaimers, and collaborated with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.
