The Van Morrison Alumni Band Live in Concert

A concert by The Van Morrison Alumni Band, a separate act and not Van Morrison performing, at the Quays Theatre in The Lowry, Salford. The show suits listeners who know the Van Morrison catalogue.

Van Morrison, born in Belfast, first came to wide notice as the lead singer of the Northern Irish group Them, whose 1964 recording of "Gloria" became a garage-rock standard. Morrison's solo work followed, with the albums Astral Weeks (1968) and Moondance (1970) among the most admired, and songs such as "Brown Eyed Girl" and "Into the Mystic" are among the best known from that catalogue.

The Van Morrison Alumni Band is a separate act, not Van Morrison performing. This concert is aimed at listeners who want to hear that music played by a group bearing the name of the Van Morrison circle of musicians, rather than by Van Morrison.

The Quays Theatre is the performance space at The Lowry, the arts centre on the Salford Quays, and hosts concerts and shows throughout the year.
