Blackwater is based in Beijing，China.The Band draws from the rich traditional Irish repertoire(The Limerick Rake,The Foggy Dew,Wild Rover,I'll Tell Me Ma,John Ryan's Polka.....and much more)to create a live rock show with an Irich touch. After having played for years in a traditional style,Blackwater has decided to turn the power on and make it loud! This is when the drummer Cedric Lebailliff,and later on the bassplayer Mett Gaillard Joined the band. Along with Zoe Wang(accordion)and Nico Torrese(electric guitar),they now are embracing the rich tradition of Celtic Rock,and the equally rich,if more chaotic tradition,of Irish Punk,to bring to the stage their own exciting,lively,traditional thoroughly modern. The last addition is the lead singer Dominic Youe. This English Musician brings fun and energy to the band,as well as flute and whistle parts:the perfect Irish color to lighten up Blackwater rock music.

Blackwater成立在中国北京。乐队从丰富的传统爱尔兰曲目（利默里克Rake，雾露，野路虎，我告诉我，马，约翰瑞恩的波尔卡…等等）创建一个现场摇滚表演与伊利奇触摸。多年来，Blackwater一直以传统的表演方式，现在决定打开电源，让它响起来！这时鼓手塞德里克·勒拜利夫，后来在贝斯手梅特·盖拉德加入了乐队。伴随着王佐伊（手风琴）和尼科Torrese（电吉他），他们现在拥抱凯尔特岩石丰富的传统，和同样丰富的，如果更混乱的传统，爱尔兰朋克，把自己的激动人心的，生动的，传统的完全现代的舞台。 最后还有主唱多米尼克·尤。这支英国音乐家为乐队带来了乐趣和活力，以及长笛和口哨部分：完美的爱尔兰颜色，以减轻黑水摇滚音乐。
