An evening of words and music for Van Morrison's birthday celebration 14 Sep 2025

It was a true honour to perform for Sir Van Morrison's poetry and music event this past weekend in Belfast. Van is one of my poetic heroes and having grown up listening to Astral Weeks it was a special moment. On Hyndford Streetm The Way Young Lovers Do and my own poem For Jack.

A joy to share a stage with Paul Muldoon, John Cooper Clarke and Dylan Jones, and of course witness Van Morrison take the stage and give a shamanic performance
