  CELTIC ROOTS FESTIVAL CANCELLED We’ve been advised that the Celtic Roots festival on Sept 14th at Catton Hall, South Derbyshire has been cancelled. According to the festival website this is due to the continuous bad weather conditions of the past few weeks and the prospect of further heavy rainfall leading up to the show date. Further details including ticket refund information are available from: www.celticroots.tv

Take a look at: www.mikescottwaterboys.com ROOM TO ROAM WEB PAGES ROOM TO ROAM was reissued on August 11th as a 2CD set with fabulous new remastered sound and 17 previously unavailable tracks. You can purchase the album at: http://www.townsend-records.co.uk/sites/waterboys/index.php?productId=10003031&pTypeId=1 Also check out our new Room To Roam web pages, including Mike Scott’s sleevenotes on how the record was made and the full lyrics to both CD1 and CD2 by visiting: http://mikescottwaterboys.com/mikescottwaterboys/roomtoroam/ We’ve spotted a printing error in the album’s booklet. On pages 22 and 23 is a photo of the entire cast - band and crew - that worked on the record at Spiddal House, with an accompanying key picture of numbered silhouettes to identify them all. Only thing is, the silhouettes aren’t numbered. To see the correct image, visit: http://mikescottwaterboys.com/mikescottwaterboys/Images/Discography/room-to-roam-whos-who.jpg TWO WATERBOYS ALBUMS FEATURED IN WORD MAGAZINE ‘ALBUM COVER ATLAS’ See if you can find ‘em....here: http://www.wordmagazine.co.uk/album_atlas/ MEANWHILE.....

  The Pickering festival, at which The Waterboys were due to play tomorrow has been cancelled due to bad weather. The Health and Safety Office have closed it. Sorry to disappoint anyone who'd planned to go.

UK FESTIVAL ADDED, IRISH FESTIVAL SHOW CANCELLED ENGLISH ‘CELTIC ROOTS’ FESTIVAL ADDED - 14TH SEPT The Waterboys will play the Celtic Roots Festival at Catton Hall, Walton On Trent, South Derbyshire on Sunday September 14th. This looks like being the only full-band Waterboys show in England this year. Support acts are Hothouse Flowers and Biblecode Sundays.

Tickets priced £35.00 (one day) or £70 (both days) are available at: http://www.ticketstogo.co.uk/ticketstogo08/tickets/site08/cart.asp?eventref=005 Please note ticket prices will increase in mid August. WATERBOYS WILL NOT NOW PLAY AT ELECTRIC PICNIC The Waterboys are sorry to announce they will no longer be playing the Electric Picnic festival in Ireland on Friday 29 August due to contractual problems. The band agreed a deal in good faith with POD, the festival promoters. However, after having made press announcements and advertising The Waterboys on their festival website, the promoters substantially reduced the agreed fee to a figure that didn’t make economic sense and then declined any further negotiation. It is with much regret therefore that The Waterboys' appearance has been cancelled - and the band hopes fans who have bought tickets will understand that circumstances were beyond their control.
