The Waterboys have been one of my favourite bands since around 1987, and have been a big influence to me. Mike Scott is the mainstay of the group and has also released a fair amount of solo material. There is a CD tree which has a website at www.thebigmusic.net which contains the artwork for the CD tree material, together with details of the tree in operation.
Please also check my DVD section for Waterboys/ Mike Scott DVD's.
