NORTHAMPTON DATE CHANGE The Waterboys show at The Calvin Theatre, Northampton, has been changed from Friday 20th September to Thursday 19th September. All tickets already purchased for the 20th will of course be valid for the 19th. The reason is to accommodate a radio broadcast concert on New York station WFUV on the 24th. Moving the Northampton date means the band will now play 6 shows in a row, not 7. Mike Scott says "I can't sing 7 nights in a row without losing some of my voice, so we've moved The Calvin by a day which makes a big difference. We need this broadcast because wide radio promotion isn't something we often get offered in North America. I'm really sorry that this means everyone who bought tickets to The Calvin has to bring their night out forward by a day, especially as the original date was a Friday. We will pull out all the stops to make it up to you and will make The Calvin a super special show". Contact Northampton Box Office at 413-586-8686 during normal business hours (10-6 Mon-Sat & 12-5 Sun) with any questions or to buy tickets for the show if you haven't already.

MIKE MEETS THE ROCKERS UPTOWN On the Sunday after playing Fujirock with The Waterboys, Mike Scott went to Harajuku to meet and hang out with the STRANGERS, the rock and roll club who are featured dancing on the recent video for London Mick. He told us: "When I made the film of the Strangers dancing back in February I didn't know them and they didn't know me, but yesterday when I arrived they gave me a wonderfully warm welcome and I had the honour of being introduced to every member of the club by their leader Kazuyo Inui. Then the club founder, Mr Jess Yamanaka, arrived with great charisma. I could feel the true spirit of rock and roll radiating from them. They presented me a club T shirt and rocker's comb and we all posed for photos together. That's Yamanaka san beside me with the pale hat and Kazuyo Inui on my other side, with collar up."

BLAINE AND THE WATERBOYS The Waterboys were joined by Mystery Jets vocalist Blaine Harrison during last Friday’s radio session on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show, performing backing vocals for The Whole Of The Moon. Mike asked Blaine to come and sing because "I loved The Mystery Jets version of The Whole Of The Moon and Blaine has a great voice. I thought it would sound good with mine, and it did!" You can listen to the Mystery Jets version of The Whole Of The Moon at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5aTkEj4F7E&list=RDz5aTkEj4F7E&start_radio=1&t=0 If you missed The Waterboys session for Chris Evans you can listen again at https://virginradio.co.uk/radio/listen-again/1562304600 Blaine sings backup on The Whole Of The Moon and both versions of Jumping Jack Flash. The Waterboys segment begins roughly 90 minutes in. (And a mystery - where was Brother Paul? Brother Paul was at home in Nashville, celebrating his birthday)
