We caught The Waterboys’ leader Mike Scott and violinist Steve Wickham at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass a week ago, and it was one of the highlights of HSB.  Once again we were reminded how much Mike Scott’s delivery always connects, and especially when enhanced by Wickham’s playing.  At HSB they played some of the band’s greats (Fisherman Blues, Raggle Taggle Gypsy, etc.), and left us wanting more.  After HSB, the band continued on their tour of North America and Europe, alighting in Portland after San Francisco.  While in Portland, they performed at KINK Radio.  For a good feel (and sample of Wickham’s playing), check out their performance of Mad As The Mist and Snow below.  If you want more of the KINK session, go HERE.
