The WATERBOYS

BIOGRAPHY:

When Waterboys mainman Mike Scott moved to Ireland in 1986 he set about recording "Fisherman's Blues" with a host of local musicians, as well as taking some with him, including Falkirk born Colin Blakey (flute / mandolin / keyboards). Blakey had gotten to know Scott when he was playing with Edinburgh folk / punk / rock act We Free Kings, and contributed to two tracks on the album. He stuck about to play on most of the follow up, "Room To Roam", as well as live dates between 1988 and 1989, before going solo under the name The Clan.
