Led by mercurial and brilliant Scottish guitarist/vocalist Mike Scott, the 2020 version of the band features the established line-up of Memphis keyboard great "Brother" Paul Brown, Irish electric fiddler Steve Wickham, ace British drummer Ralph Salmins and funky Irish bassman Aongus Ralston.
The popular reach of Waterboys music has never been greater. Their songs have been performed by artists as varied as Prince, The Killers and U2, all of whom have performed their classic The Whole Of The Moon; and Fiona Apple who masterfully recorded the song last year; Ellie Goulding, who scored a top 3 UK hit with How Long Will I Love You; indie rockers The War On Drugs, Dawes and The Mystery Jets; and classic singers Rod Stewart and Tom Jones. The Whole Of The Moon also featured in last year's smash Netflix film Let It Snow and top HBO series The Affair. Waterboys music shows no sign of fading, and the best place to experience it is played by the originators in a concert hall. Come and feel the fire!
Once redeveloped, Stockton Globe will stand in a revitalised Town Centre which has music, performance, the arts, and creative industries at its heart.
One of the exciting features of the refurbished Stockton Globe is that the Stalls area can be configured to suit the type of event that takes place, with a capacity ranging from 770 - 2,200 people. This includes fully seats to suit the high-profile comedians that will perform, standing to accommodate gigs (which will include an open bar at the rear) plus the option of an orchestra pit for events where one is required. The Circle will be fully seated at all times with a capacity of 836.
