BUREAU OF LOST CULTURE – The Countercultural Life of Mike Scott and The Waterboys (04/01/2025)
Mike Scott grew up in Edinburgh and said: “liike most children of the 1960s I accepted the incredible happenings of that decade — with all its rapid evolution, colour, revelations and magic — as the normal order of things. At the age of 4 he had his first mystical experience and remembers that from the minute he bought “Last Night in Soho” by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich in 1968 he knew he had to be in music.
In the years since he has toured the world with his band The Waterboys and as a solo artist, had hit records with The Whole of the Moon, This is the Sea and Fishermans Blues, has released 16 albums and has another about to drop, He has been unashamedly open about the importance of spirituality and mysticism in his life – even when it has been deeply unfashionable in the mainstream culture
Mike Scott came to the Bureau to talk about all of that and much more
