Van Morrison alumni to perform Moondance in full at Sheffield City Hall
Former bandmates of Van Morrison are set to recreate the singer-songwriter's celebrated album Moondance live on stage in Sheffield.
The Van Morrison Alumni Band will bring their production, Moondance: The Complete Album Live... And More, to the City Hall on Wednesday, March 3, 2027.
Morrison was 24 when he released the seminal record in February 1970, blending jazz, soul, blues and R&B across tracks such as Into the Mystic, Crazy Love, And It Stoned Me, Caravan and the title song.
The touring ensemble, composed of musicians who have performed and recorded with Morrison, will perform all 10 album tracks in their original running order. Their set will also feature tracks recorded during the original sessions that were held back from release before later becoming hits.
Leo Green will provide anecdotes and reflections detailing the creation of the album, alongside recollections from the studio and touring with the songwriter.
A second half of the performance will showcase a selection of Morrison's other popular material, accompanied by further background stories on the music.
