The Waterboys announce Irish tour dates

Fresh from their successful world tour of Galway, The Waterboys return to Ireland next month for shows at The Waterfront Hall, Belfast (October 18); Millennium Theatre, Derry (19); Olympia, Dublin (20 & 21); UCG, Limerick (23); and Opera House, Cork (24).

Expect a judicious plug for their new album, Universal Hall, which finds Mike Scott reunited with old fiddle mucker Steve Wickham.
