Van Morrison

Music Club Presents...
Van Morrison Live & Exclusive

On-air: Saturday 15 March
at 2000-2100

Legendary vocalist and songwriter, Van Morrison performs in an exclusive concert from the BBC's Radio Theatre in London.

The Grammy Award-winning Irish singer, songwriter, author, poet and multi-instrumentalist, has been a professional musician since the late 1950s.  He is now considered to be one of the most unusual and influential vocalists in the history of rock and roll; Bob Geldof called him “the one true genius in Irish music”.

Van Morrison rose to prominence as leader of the band Them, who had the 1964 hit 'Gloria'.  Later turning solo, his highly successful career has included the classic album 'Astral Weeks', which is often featured in lists of the best albums of all time, and the singles 'Moondance', 'Brown Eyed Girl', 'Domino' and 'Wild Night'.

March 2008 sees the release of Van Morrison's latest studio album 'Keep It Simple'.  Speaking about the title track from the album, Morrison says: “It’s just a song about how everything’s gotten now so complex and how things have become so complicated and nothing’s easy to do anymore.”
