CELTIC SOUL

Van Morrison has got to be the biggest name and most enduring musical icon on the world stage that Belfast has ever produced. This show by Celtic Soul celebrates one of the truly great singer/songwriters of all time.

Receiving critical acclaim from devout Van fans wherever they perform, you’ll hear the big hits like Jackie Wilson Said, Days Like This, and of course Brown Eyed Girl. You’ll also hear Ballerina, Cyprus Avenue, and In the Garden among many others in a packed show.

Things really took off for the band after live ‘unplugged’ performances on Gerry Kelly’s show on BBC Radio Ulster. BBC’s Ralph McLean, a massive Van Morrison fan himself, describes Celtic Soul as ‘a great band’ and ‘a very fine tribute’.

With more years than they care to remember playing in blues, folk, trad and jazz bands these musicians have the ingredients to deliver Van’s music authentically. They are:

Clarke Wilson on Vocals and Saxophone, Ray McEvoy (Electric Guitar), Marcus McAuley (Acoustic Guitar), Rik Gay (Drums), Keith Ward (Piano and keyboards), Gerry McClurg (Trumpet) and Mark Crockard (Electric and Double Bass).

Let Celtic Soul take you on a journey through the songbook of our very own musical legend!
