The Saw Doctors

Description:

Price: £20.00 (Max of 30 tickets per booking) Over the years, The Saw Doctors have built up a reputation as a great live band. Since their formation in the eighties, the band have taken on a variety of musical influences including pop, punk, rock 'n' roll, and traditional Irish folk, all delivered with a great sense of humour. This year, The Saw Doctors will celebrate 21 years on the road as a working band - back in 1988, Mike Scott of The Waterboys discovered The Saw Doctors in the back bar of The Quays Pub in Galway and promptly invited the Tuam lads to tour with The Waterboys on their Fisherman's Blues jaunt around Ireland and the UK. Last October, The Saw Doctors reached Number One in the Irish Music Charts with their rocked up version of the Sugababes song, About You Now - it was the first time in seventeen years that The Saw Doctors reached Number One in Ireland. As part of the bands 21st Birthday celebrations, Shamtown Records will release a 40 track "Best Of" CD of The Saw Doctors in September of this year - the "Best Of" collection will include the bands four Irish Number One's, I Useta Lover, Hay Wrap, N17 and About You Now, as well as their three UK Top Thirty hits, World of Good, To Win Just Once, and Small Bit of Love.
