To the satisfaction of fans around the world, the definitive biography of Mike Scott & The Waterboys , Strange Boat , is now available through Gonzo Multimedia . This biography, written byIan Abrahams ,
was originally published in 2007, but this is a new edition revised and
updated and contains a bonus for the album with Mike Scott Mr. Yeats,
first published in R2 Rock N Reel . Strange Boat portrays
the twisting and winding journeys Mike Scott (The Waterboys),
describing the literary and spiritual references that fill your
compositions and exploring the multitude of local cultures and that The
Waterboys reflect on their recordings. Everything from their first
forays in the Scottish music scene in the late 1970s, until the creation
of a Big Music , which culminated with the single The Whole Of The Moon , through his Irish adventure that spawned the classic Fisherman's Blues . Its
constantly restless creativity led him through a myriad of
changes. With its rotating cast of troubadours at his side, Mike Scott

Scottish Findhorn spiritual mountains. Mike Scott's life has been a
story of continuous musical exploration with an evolving
spirituality. That is what can be found in this publication written by Ian Abrahams and the hallmark of Gonzo Multimedia .
