Steve Wickham has certainly made his presence felt throughout Irish rock and roll history.
The Dublin fiddle player was a long-time member of the Waterboys, as well as playing on recordings by great names such as Sinead O’Connor, Elvis Costello and World Party.
Indeed, it’s Steve’s violin playing that you can hear on the U2 classic “Sunday Bloody Sunday”…is it any wonder that leader of The Waterboys, Mike Scott Steve Wickham “the world’s greatest rock fiddle player”, while the NME described him as a “fiddling legend.”?
Steve will be playing a benefit show in Clare for Medicins Sans Frontieres – Doctors Without Borders, who at present have over 1,000 staff in Gaza to provide vital medical assistance for all civilians caught up in the conflict.
The show at the Westbridge in Miltown Malbay is the brainchild of music promoter, John Roberts, who joined Alan on the show.
