Van Morrison
New Wimbledon Theatre, SW19 1QG , [Venue Details]One of music’s true originals, Sir Van Morrison’s unique and inspirational musical legacy is rooted in postwar Belfast.
Born in 1945, Van was shaped early by his father’s extensive record collection, absorbing blues, country, and gospel from artists such as Hank Williams, Muddy Waters, and Mahalia Jackson. This foundation informed a lifelong approach that blends genres while remaining unmistakably his own. By 13, he was a travelling musician, singing and playing guitar and sax in several bands before forming Them in 1964, producing instant classics such as the much-covered ‘Gloria’ and ‘Here Comes The Night’.
Those talents found an astonishing range in Van’s solo career. After working with Them’s New York producer Bert Berns on the beautiful Top 40 pop hit ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ (1967), Morrison moved to another realm. In 1968, Astral Weeks was recorded, combining street poetry, jazz improvisation, Celtic invocation, and Afro-Celtic Blues wailing. Morrison would weave these and myriad other influences into the albums that followed in quick succession, including Moondance and Tupelo Honey.
