Van the Man

As part of the fam trip to Belfast, we were invited to an exclusive Van Morrison concert at the Hastings Culloden Estate & Spa. After a three course dinner, first his daughter came on stage and then the man himself. I have to admit that while I had heard OF him, I'd never heard any of his music before the trip... Everyone was telling us as well, that he tends to be a bit of a grumpy character. He actually doesn't give many concerts anymore and generally doesn't much talk to the audience.

Well, he clearly had a good day - he was chatting between songs, and even came out for an encore! I overall enjoyed his music even if I wasn't so keen on the very jazzy songs. It was equally entertaining to watch a woman on a neighboring table getting rather drunk, obsessively tousling her hair and cosying up to the man next to her (while claiming that she wasn't sleeping with him....).
