Astral Weeks to be revisited in Belfast

Foy Vance, Bap Kennedy, The Four Of Us, The Winding Stair and Tom McShane are among the artists set to re-interpret Van Morrisson's classic album Astral Weeks at a special event next month.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 07 Dec 2007

Two gigs will take place in Belfast on January 5 that will see the above and other artists perform the entire album in sequence to mark its 40th anniversary. There'll be an all-ages matinee in the Black Box at 2pm, before an evening show in the Oh Yeah music centre at 8pm.

Music journalist and Oh Yeah Chairman Stuart Bailie will open the event with a talk about the record’s inception and will introduce each track with notes about the lyrics and the musical context.

Tickets for this special event are priced £10 for each gig and are now on sale from www.cqaf.com
