BBC Radio Ulster Thanks to reader Ronnie Carnwath who recorded and shared the show (BBC Radio Ulster). Ronnie added: “For some, to complain that he didn’t play Cyprus Avenue (from Astral Weeks), that seemed a little churlish if you ask me...” [But that’s Van The Man for you!] Gary Galbraith wrote: Considering the volume of shows Van Morrison has played in his home city in the last three years at venues ranging from dinner shows at hotels, large arenas, public parks, old cinemas, jazz clubs and even the assembly hall of his old school, no way was the 70th birthday of Belfast¹s most celebrated musical export going to be allowed to pass quietly. As it turned out, the East Side Arts company managed to pull off their biggest coup yet, by persuading him to end their festival and perform two 90-minute sets actually ON Cyprus Avenue, the first of which was broadcast live on BBC Radio Ulster and recorded by BBC Northern Ireland to be broadcast on TV on September 4. For anyone expecting a setlist heavy on songs namechecking various parts of his native East Belfast and especially the celebrated song named in honour of the gig¹s location, then you can always rely on Van to defy logic and do almost the opposite. Nonetheless, it was a hugely enjoyable afternoon, backed by a superb band, with a couple of nice guest appearances and several standout performances such as Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child, And The Healing Has Begun and the closing In the Garden.

  • Venturing in the Slipstream
    VENTURING IN THE SLIPSTREAM THE PLACES OF VAN MORRISON’S SONGWRITING Geoff Munns BA, MLitt, MEd (hons), PhD (University of New England) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Western Sydney University, October 2019. Statement of Authentication The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original except as acknowledged in the text. I hereby declare that I have not submitted this material, either in full or in part, for a degree at this or any other institution. .............................................................. Geoff Munns ii Abstract This thesis explores the use of place in Van Morrison’s songwriting. The central argument is that he employs place in many of his songs at lyrical and musical levels, and that this use of place as a poetic and aural device both defines and distinguishes his work. This argument is widely supported by Van Morrison scholars and critics. The main research question is: What are the ways that Van Morrison employs the concept of place to explore the wider themes of his writing across his career from 1965 onwards? This question was reached from a critical analysis of Van Morrison’s songs and recordings. A position was taken up in the study that the songwriter’s lyrics might be closely read and appreciated as song texts, and this reading could offer important insights into the scope of his life and work as a songwriter. The analysis is best described as an analytical and interpretive approach, involving a simultaneous reading and listening to each song and examining them as speech acts.

  • Astral Weeks Chelsea Fernando ‘17.5 David Rome Prize
    Astral Weeks Chelsea Fernando ‘17.5 David Rome Prize 1 In 1688 the Swiss physician Johannes Hofer invented the term nostalgia from the Greek nostos, or “homecoming,” and algos, or “pain.” The word was used in his dissertation to describe “the sad mood originating from the desire for return to one's native land,” a condition also known as mal du Suisse after frequent reports of Swiss mercenaries in the lowlands of France and Italy succumbing to a melancholic longing for Alpine landscapes. Napoleon believed that the sentiments suffered by his soldiers upon hearing the Swiss milking song “Khue-Reyen” would lead them to desert or to commit suicide, and so declared its playing punishable by death. 2 Whether it was intentionally or by accident I’m not quite sure (the memory is cloudy now), but it was certainly my father who introduced me to Astral Weeks. It is either that he presented the CD to me with his own two hands on our front porch just as he was returning home, or that I found it independently while exploring his unpacked belongings after I’d followed him inside the house. At present I have a feeling that it was the latter—I most likely found the record amongst a slew of others that he’d brought home that day (maybe including Elvis Costello, Wilson Pickett, or Joan Armatrading) and gravitated to it simply because of its soothing cover art: a thick black border, deep purple lettering, fine silhouettes of small leaves overlapping the hazy image of a man with long auburn hair and a pale blue shirt.

Dylan--ever parenthetical and Midwestern, with intellect spilling out of his being--is a much better match for Marcus than the contemplative and uncertain Morrison. Following the death of Berns in , Morrison became involved in a contract dispute with Berns' widow, Ilene Berns , that prevented him from performing on stage or recording in the New York area. At concert's end, he and the other performers sang " The Tide Is Turning ". Thursday 27 August Monday 27 April Tuesday 12 May Morrison has a reputation for being at once stubborn, [3] [4] idiosyncratic , [5] and sublime. He plays a variety of instruments, including the guitar, harmonica, keyboards, drums, and saxophone. Tuesday 29 September Unfortunately, Marcus struggles to capture the essence of such moments, which is hardly surprising in a book about the inarticulable. He's a singer, songwriter, author, poet, and multi-instrumentalist, who has been a professional musician since The rough guide to rock — Google Book Search. He later attributed this to Van Morrison's influence. Wondering just how to qualify this collection--my rating isn't representative of this book as a whole.
