As part of our nightly YouTube series celebrating Van Morrison's 75th birthday, The Riptide Movement perform 'Brown Eyed Girl'.
Over the course of their remarkable career, The Riptide Movement have risen from buskers on Grafton Street to playing with the BBC Orchestra, Neil Young and The Rolling Stones. They've also built up a powerful live profile, with performances at Electric Picnic's Main Stage, Glastonbury and Benicàssim – as well as a headliner at Dublin's Olympia Theatre back in October. They released their new single 'Fall A Little More In Love' last month.
