Galway's acknowledged purveyors of a great good time THE SAW DOCTORS return to the UK for a comprehensive tour in support of their Irish smash hit single, About You Now, and a wonderful DVD release, Live In The USA.
About You Now, the band's inimitable take on the Sugababes hit, managed to depose narky Pop diva Pink from the republic's number one singles chart slot (thereby granting the likeable Doctors their first homeland number one hit for seventeen years).
The band have been bucking these recession hit days with a succession of sell out dates – of course, the good-time ambience of a Saw Doctors show is the perfect antidote to tough times.
