Musicians who played with Van Morrison celebrate his album 'Moondance' with stories and his greatest hits, hosted by Leo Green.
The Van Morrison Alumni Band play The Alban Arena on Wednesday 17 March 2027, with the night hosted by Leo Green. The whole thing is built around Moondance, the album Van Morrison released in February 1970 when he was just 24. It's a record that blends jazz, soul, blues and R&B across ten tracks, and several of them have become standards: 'Into the Mystic', 'Crazy Love', 'And It Stoned Me', 'Caravan' and the title track are among them.
The band itself is a repertoire company of musicians who played thousands of concerts and recorded hundreds of songs with Morrison. That work went beyond Moondance, too, covering material from his million-selling 1995 album Days Like This and 1997's The Healing Game.
Leo Green hosts the evening, and it's split into two halves. The first takes you inside the making of Moondance with stories from the studio. The second gathers Morrison's most loved hits, threaded with his own recollections of time on the road and in the studio. So it's as much about the stories behind the songs as it is about the music itself.
