‘I Hope You Meet Again’ is The Saw Doctors new single. A re-recorded version, featuring the backing vocals of Lindsey Clearly and produced by Phil Tennant, long time collaborator with the Saw Doctors.

Last week Leo and Davy along with full band of The Saw Doctors performed some of their biggest hits live and spoke to Gay Byrne about growing up in Tuam, life on the road, and the death of Leo’s brother on RTE’s For One Night Only. It was an honour for the band. With a musical career that spans over 25 years The RTE Show ‘FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY’ paid tribute to one of the most successful bands from the West of Ireland: THE SAW DOCTORS.  Tragedy also inspired songs, and Leo talks about the death of his brother and why he wrote ‘I Hope You Meet Again’. Which is also the new single out Aug 17th.

‘I Useta Lover’ By The Saw Doctors has just been voted as Ireland’s favourite number one single of all time. To celebrate the Irish singles chart’s 50th anniversary Today FM  & The Daily Mail held an online poll to find Ireland’s favourite number one and The Saw Doctors classic from the summer of 1990 received the most votes with Michael Jackson at No. 2, The Pogues and Kirsty Mc Call at 3, Queen at 4, Sinead O’ Connor at 5, and U2 at Number 6!
