Concert by the Van Morrison Alumni Band, a band of former Van Morrison musicians, playing all ten tracks from 'Moondance' plus Morrison's later hits.
The Van Morrison Alumni Band play the Pavilion Theatre on Thursday 25 February, with the show starting at 7:30pm. The night is built around Moondance, the album Van Morrison released in February 1970 when he was just 24. It blended jazz, soul, blues and R&B and gave the world songs like 'Into the Mystic', 'Crazy Love', 'And It Stoned Me', 'Caravan' and the title track.
The band plays all ten Moondance tracks in their original running order, plus the songs Morrison recorded for the album but held back until they became hits years later. Leo Green threads the first half with stories about the making of the record, and the second half gathers Morrison's best-loved hits, told through the musicians' own recollections of the road and the studio.
As the name suggests, the Van Morrison Alumni Band is a repertoire company of musicians who played thousands of concerts and recorded hundreds of songs with Morrison himself. They worked with him during the period when he made some of his most loved albums, including 1995's million-selling Days Like This and 1997's The Healing Game. So the songs come from people who were actually there in the room, rather than a tribute act playing by ear.
