CELTIC SOUL A celebration of Van Morrison

Riverside welcomes back
CELTIC SOUL A celebration of Van Morrison

Probably one of the very best Tributes to the incomparable VAN MORRISON you will see

Van Morrison is probably the biggest and most enduring names in music who is also one of our very own. In 2015 he will celebrate his 70th birthday by giving two concerts on the Belfast street he has made famous around the globe – Cyprus Avenue.

In this show, Celtic Soul return to the Riverside in celebration of 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 Cyprus Avenue, Ballerina and In the Garden among many others in a packed show.

Things really took off for the band after a live ‘unplugged’ performance 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 will take you on a journey through the songbook of our very own musical legend!
