The Saw Doctors are a folk-rock band from Tuam, County Galway in the west of Ireland. Taking their name from itinerant craftsmen who once traveled from sawmill to sawmill sharpening and repairing saws, the Saw Doctors have a fervent following, especially in Ireland and among Irish-Americans in the United States. They hold the record for Ireland's biggest-selling single of all time, "I Useta Lover," which topped the Irish charts for nine weeks in 1990.

  • The Saw Doctors are a folk-rock band from Tuam, County Galway in the west of Ireland. Taking their name from itinerant craftsmen who once traveled from sawmill to sawmill sharpening and repairing saws, the Saw Doctors have a fervent following, especially in Ireland and among Irish-Americans in the United States. They hold the record for Ireland's biggest-selling single of all time, "I Useta Lover," which topped the Irish charts for nine weeks in 1990. The following year brought another #1 record, "The Hay Wrap", before a seventeen year drought was brought to an end on 17 October 2008 with their cover of "About You Now" released in aid of a cystic fibrosis charity after it was first performed as a dare on The Podge and Rodge Show. The single raised €10,000.
  • I Saw Doctors sono un gruppo folk rock irlandese formatosi a Tuam, Contea di Galway, nel 1986. Il loro nome deriva da quello degli artigiani ambulanti che una volta viaggiavano di segheria in segheria per affilare e riparare le seghe. I Saw Doctors hanno molti fans, particolarmente in Irlanda e fra la popolazione di origine irlandese che vive negli Stati Uniti. Con "I Useta Lover" possiedono il record di vendite di un singolo per l'Irlanda: il brano rimase in testa alle classifiche irlandesi per nove settimane nel 1990.
