Van Morrison : Lit Up Inside
Lyric Theatre, Belfast: January 5th 2015
After receiving rave reviews in London and Dublin , Van Morrison brings his Lit Up Inside Show back home to Belfast for a unique once off show
The first part of the evening will feature Van being interviewed by Ian Rankin, and then they will be joined on stage by renowned literary figures including authors Michael Longley and Eamonn Hughes in celebration of the music and words collated in a new book ‘Lit Up Inside’.
In the second part of the show, Van and his band will perform some of his favourite songs.
‘Lit Up Inside’ is a representative selection of lyrics from about one third of the songs that Van has written over his fifty year career. Plunging deep into the world Van has created, the lyrics are a journey through the back streets and mystic avenues, memories of childhood wonder and of adult work, the chime of church bells and the playing of the radio, the generous naming of other artists and the joy of solitude, love and sharp dealing, consolation and grace.
The London Lit Up Inside show received rave reviews in the following media:
