Van Morrison

On March 25, 2013, Van Morrison delivered a stunning live performance at the Strand Arts Centre in Belfast, celebrating his deep roots in Irish music and culture. Just prior to this recording, he released the album 'Born to Sing: No Plan B' in 2012, which marked a return to his soulful, jazzy roots and introspective songwriting. This album showed Morrison's knack for blending genres while digging into personal themes, a style that continues to resonate in his live shows. It’s interesting to note that Morrison has a lifelong connection to Belfast, where his musical journey began, making this live performance a heartfelt homecoming. His work is often celebrated not just for its exceptional craftsmanship but for the emotional depth and cultural tapestry he weaves into each song. This concert was not just another gig; it was Morrison connecting with his audience on a profound, almost spiritual level.
