I think my favorites are "Don't Bang That Drum", "Mad as the Mist and Snow", and "Peace of Iona". I have a few of their Albums. Steve Wickham is one of my favorite fiddle players. The Irish are great fiddle players. Steve plays many more instruments and does some vocals. I think he prefers traditional Irish and Scottish music, whereas Mike Scott is more Rock. They are currently friends but Steve's membership as part of the Water Boys tends to be off and on. I am glad the band reformed after being gone for seven or was it eight years. I think the songs based on W. B. Yates poems are my favorites like the one you linked us to Blondin235

The version of "Mad as the Mist and Snow" from Glastonbury was one of the best so far. The whole set was brilliant. Wish I could have been there to see it live. Everyone should spend the time to listen to the whole set. :woot:
