I love the Waterboys and when Mike spoke about the Velvet Underground I must point out a fact that their unique sonic drones were created by the legend John Cale who left the band he created after a couple of Albums to go on to great artistic success as a performer and producer 👍 I must add one more point I wish Mike would return to the more Irish folk/ country style of music alongside the greatest fiddler Steve Wickham.
"KITES" was a song I would hear often on the radio and I heard it again after many years which brought me out in goosebumps. Big hugs to Mike, who sounds like he's a lovely Dad.

Brilliant interview. I love your focus on the inspiration and emotion. Your music matters a lot to me. Fuels the spirit. Taylor's also.

Great interview from Mike as always. I like how he respects so many different kinds of artists. And he's humble and a true artist himself.
What a great short interview! Glad I stumbled across it what a lovely honest bloke 👍
Love this Br Mike!!!
xXx!

I love that he's into Mercury Rev, but sad he's not into Damon Albarn
Great interview with Mike
Do I spy some Mackie Osbourne designs back there among all that cool lowbrow art behind the interviewer?
Simon Dupree became the classic prog group Gentle Giant.
I wish every musician out there would stop copying are borrowing from Bob Dylan. It’s been done over and over and over killed.
Bob Dylan is top plagerist. .He copied the hillbillies style of singing and even robbed lyrics from the bible . .whiney old git
An Ok interview that drifted away from the focus of him & The Waterboys. Probably a cut up version of the whole interview
Holes, dug by little moles... :)
