When it comes to the number of band members, The Waterboys must surely have set some kind of record. When asked if it is correct that over 70 musicians have performed live as a ‘Waterboy’, the band’s frontman Mike Scott says the number is even higher.
“It’s over 80 now,” he says. “If you extend it to guests, it is probably about 200 people who have played on stage with us.”
