Van Morrison

In celebration of the release of his eagerly anticipated new double-album Latest Record Project: Volume 1, Van Morrison will be playing his first-ever virtual performance on May 8. The multiple Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist will perform a livestream event from the renowned Real World Studios in Wiltshire that will see him debut some brand new songs alongside a selection of classic tracks.

The 28-track Latest Record Project: Volume 1 album spans everything from the saxophone-led R&B gem “Jealousy” to the joyful, country-tinged “A Few Bars Early” via the spirited Them-style garage rock of the self-explanatory “Stop Bitching, Do Something.” While it touches upon the romantic sentiment and late-night warmth that people love Van Morrison for, the overriding theme is a straight-talking commentary on contemporary life.
