Great song. Shame the cameraman was drunk - very distracting watching the top of the monitor and the mic stand swaying around in the foreground. Please RTE teach your staff how to use the equipment properly.
Unbelievable!! In 1988 I bought "Fisherman's Blues" and subsequently everything they released. But by 2000 when they disolved I figured that was it. I had no idea they were still playing. Awesome!!
love it, i used to dj in a club in benidorm in 1989-91 and mixed this song in (with great success) to popular rave tunes of the day, everybody used to love it, sometimes a bit of levelers too
@loudspeackers I'm fairly certain that this is a Waterboys original. Mike Scott and Steve Wickham wrote this song. Perhaps it was covered by Celtas Cortos and hence the confusion.
Sounds just like when I first heard it. Electric picnic is great because you never know what youll see for example phil jupitus with duke special or the everlong girl

one of the greatest shows ever was waterboys olympic ballroon c88 - a teenage sinead o'connor appeared for a few tracks, one song she did was a stones number (from recollection, clad in wite denim....anybody out there able to confirm my hazy memories????)
@ilcorvojo3 've never come across any vid clips, years ago I had a dodgy bootleg of the show, but lost that and many other precious boots during some move

in your dreams!
can't compare "celtas cortos" to Waterboys
this is originally from Mike Scott, both music and lyrics.
