To Here Knows When - Great Irish Albums Revisited
Music:Music History
Episode ten focuses on Room to Roam by The Waterboys. While touring Fisherman’s Blues the four-piece Waterboys of Mike Scott, Steve Wickham, Anto Thistlethwaite and Trevor Hutchinson was augmented by Sharon Shannon, Colin Blakey and Noel Bridgeman and it was this seven-piece line-up – The Magnificent Seven as Noel Bridgeman named them – that recorded the fifth Waterboys album Room to Roam. In this episode I chat to Mike Scott about this line-up of The Waterboys, playing small towns throughout Ireland, recording Room to Roam in Spiddal House, the response to the album, putting The Magnificent Seven boxset together and the recording of his forthcoming album All Souls Hill. Mike also pays tribute to drummer Noel Bridgeman who passed away in March 2021. Episode notes are here.
