The Van Morrison Alumni Band Live in Concert

A London concert by the Van Morrison Alumni Band, a group of musicians with past links to Van Morrison, staged at O2 Shepherds Bush Empire and presented as a live show by the band itself.

The Van Morrison Alumni Band is a project built around musicians who have previously performed with Van Morrison, the Northern Irish singer-songwriter behind Astral Weeks (1968) and Moondance (1970). Van Morrison is not part of this line-up, and the evening is a concert by the band rather than by the original artist.

The concert draws on the connection between these musicians and Van Morrison's catalogue, which includes both of those records. The band's name points to its former members, so the programme is best approached as a performance by a group with direct ties to that body of work.

O2 Shepherds Bush Empire is a London venue that hosts concerts and shows. The evening suits listeners who follow Van Morrison's music and want to hear it performed by musicians with links to that catalogue.
