Chrysalis

The roots of Chrysalis stretch back to a tiny flat in West London in 1967, when former university social secretaries, Chris Wright and Terry Ellis, linked their flair for managing and booking bands to form the Ellis Wright Agency. After trying to release their bands' records via other companies, they decided to start their own label.

In 1968, they signed a licensing deal with Island Records with the proviso that if their acts achieved an agreed number of hits, they would be awarded a label of their own. Within a year, this tally was reached and Chrysalis Records was born.

Over the years, Chrysalis went through various ownership changes. In 1985, Chris Wright bought out Terry Ellis and later sold the label to EMI in 1991. EMI was then acquired by Universal Music Group in 2012 before selling the Parlophone Label Group (including Chrysalis) to Warner Music Group in 2013.

The Waterboys are a Scottish folk rock band that was formed in 1983 by Mike Scott. With their unique blend of traditional Celtic music and contemporary rock, they have become one of the most influential bands in the genre.

Mike Scott, the driving force behind The Waterboys, is not only a talented musician but also a skilled songwriter. His poetic lyrics and soulful melodies have captivated audiences around the world. The band's sound is characterized by its rich instrumentation, including fiddles, mandolins, and bagpipes, which add depth and texture to their music.

Over the years, The Waterboys have released numerous critically acclaimed albums and achieved commercial success with hits like "The Whole of the Moon" and "Fisherman's Blues." Their music has resonated with fans of all ages and continues to inspire new generations of musicians.
