CELTIC SOUL
Award winning Celtic Soul returns to ISLAND Arts Centre with their definitive tribute to Van Morrison. Following a sell out performance at the Ulster Hall in 2019 they received an IMRO Gold Award for their performance in Radio Ulster’s Astral Weeks special. They continue to receive critical acclaim from devout Vanatics.
With years of playing in blues, folk, trad and jazz bands, the seven piece band has the ingredients to deliver Van’s music authentically. Expect to hear songs from right across Van’s musical history including the big hits as well as stand out album tracks.
Let Celtic Soul take you on a journey through the songbook of our very own musical legend!
Clarke Wilson on vocals and saxophone, Ray McEvoy (electric guitar), Marcus McAuley (acoustic guitar), Rik Gay (drums), Keith Ward (piano and keyboards), Gerry McClurg (trumpet) and Mark Crockard (electric and double bass).
‘Great band, superb interpreters of Van’s back catalogue’ Ralph McLean, BBC
