An Appointment with the Waterboys

The shows will be split into two halves, with no support act.

One half will be "a killer set of vintage Waterboys", according to the band's leader Mike Scott.

The other will be a performance of most, if not all, of the raved-about new album An Appointment With Mr Yeats.

The Waterboys will be appearing in a new seven-piece line-up, including:

• legendary fiddler Steve Wickham
• Irish chanteuse Katie Kim
• keyboard ace James Hallawell
• lap steel / electric guitar maestro Melvin Duffy
• bassman Marc Arciero
• drummer Ralph Salmins.
