Big Music maestro, raggle-taggle gypsy, wandering minstrel—

the intriguing disguises of Waterboys’ supremo, Mike Scott

"Abrahams does a bang-up job in getting under the skin of a fiercely independent and driven artist...What emerges is an intriguing portrait of a modern musician harking back to the roots of the sounds that inspire him."

 Record Collector

Strange Boat examines the literary references, the striving for personal growth and the immersion in differing locations and cultures that have informed Mike Scott’s songwriting. After initial success, exemplified by the hit single “The Whole of the Moon”, The Waterboys relocated to Ireland where they became synonymous with contemporary Irish folk music, and recorded Fisherman’s Blues, a classic to sit alongside Van Morrisson’s Astral Weeks.

Perfectionist, one-time minstrel of the craic, now sometime resident of a Scottish island retreat, Mike Scott’s life has been a tale of continual musical exploration entwined with an ever-evolving spirituality.
