“Whole of the moon” is a brilliant song and one of the best lyrics ever. RIP Karl
I remember seeing them at the Shepards bush empire around 2001 . He wrote the Robbie Williams tune “She’s the one” He changed the lyrics to “ He’s the one nicking my song “ Brilliant artist and an original waterboys.

I was also at that Shepherds Bush Empire gig. Saw World Party quite a few times in the 90s too. They were great every time. He had a brain aneurysm about 20 years ago, so the touring has been minimal since then. But he did a short UK tour in 2013 and I saw a great gig at RNCM in Manchester where I took this photo. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GIagHg8XQAEt5VT?format=jpg
He was a very talented fella & always came across as very unassuming and unpretentious onstage.
Here's a favourite of mine, as it has turned out it's the final track from his final album 😔

Thank you for your post. It seemed to go unoticed with the main media. Yes he was underated. I'm glad he made loads of mony for 'She's the One'. Goodbye Jumbo was a constant play during the 90's. As was Private Revolution. 66 is way too soon to leave us. RIP Karl.
