I was six or seven when I noticed the music in my head. It was there in the classroom on the football pitch at the dinner table when I went to sleep & when I woke up. & its continued ever since. Adventures Of A Waterboy" is a fascinating evocative memoir by one of the great British songwriters of the past four decades. It is an honest & revealing work by turns heartfelt & funny that tells the story of a cocky Scot with a sound in his head & his lifelong efforts to reproduce that sound
- a story that runs from teenage fandom to international stardom from Scotland to New York City & beyond.

Three years later Scott travelled to Ireland to spend a week with fiddler Steve Wickham & ended up staying for six years. During that time he developed a deep interest in roots & folk music resulting in " The Waterboys" best-selling album " Fishermans Blues". After scaling the heights of success & moving the band to New York he followed another fascination & went to live in the Findhorn spiritual community in Northern Scotl&. Mike Scott continues to push musical boundaries & still tours regularly with new & reconfigured versions of his legendary b&. In 2010 " The Waterboys" premiered their new work " An Appointment With Mr Yeats" at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin. The album of the same name was released to great acclaim in 2011."
