Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, author, poet and multi-instrumentalist Van Morrision kicked of the start of this years Live At The Iveagh Gardens series of shows. An Outdoor Music Series based in the scenic surrounds of Dublin’s (known locally) ‘Secret Gardens’.
Van was playing a night as part of his Accentuate the Positive dates and having no support it meant fans didn’t have long to wait for the star to take to the stage, which he done just before 8pm and played a nineteenth stronger song set-last till just before 9.30pm.
