The Combination of Van Morrison and The Chieftains have reunited Ireland in a musical union that will be appreciated by people for many years to come. Van's unique voice and singing style captivated me. It's very sad that so many of the Chieftains are no longer with us.
The beauty of this brings tears of joy tinged with some sadness to a rock hard man's eyes. Playing the drums and singing is extremely hard to do but it is no problem for Van the Man
One of the best modern poets............Love his music and style...Original as hell, always has been always will be.....And one of the greatest soul singers ever to live!
Nostalgia for an Ulster childhood . . . . . The elevation of the quotidian to the eternal. The rhythms and textures of the everyday world . Cheers mate ,
IMÁDOM AZ ÍR ZENÉT! Olyan sajátos hangulata van! De én ezt nem most fedeztem fel! Sok-sok évvel ezelőtt az egyik osztályom, amelynek az osztályfőnöke voltam, ír táncot adott elő❤ ❤ ❤ Elisa
For general erudition, this is a very old traditional air , Buachil an Eirne, with Van penning groovy lyrics,and Paddy Maloney an execellent arrangement as usual.
I was lucky enough to take my daugther Cristie on a lovely summer's eve to see Van the Man at Hampton Court in London. Great music but no audience empathy. The best true story I heard was his interchange with Michael Jackson who approached Van before some save the World group sing and in a squeeky voice asked Who are you? Van answered i am Van fuckin Morrison who the fuck are you?
As a Welshman, having this song, which unites us is a wonderful thing, particularly now, in a time where unity is fragementing. #Wales #Ireland #Scotland #IsleOfMan #Brittany
Respect to you Van, from the Celtic Pagans of Eire. We are one Celtic tribe and the best people in the world, both sides of the invisible border, not created by the Celtic children of Eire. Respect to the Celtic Ray. Blessings to all. Slainte agus Saoirse
I see Van Morrison as very attractive, has such a friendly face, is very likeable/sociable, I very much like the way he uses his voice, handles/holds himself. I like that he takes on a variety of music styles. He like many of us, has his boundaries...and it is OK with me that he lives within them. I very much LIKE him.
I can understand your Catalan heart. Do not ever give up the old Celtic paths of justice and freedom my cousins of blood. Saoirse from the Celts of Eire.

Meant to say Stephen...no one likes a corrector on my country! It's a standing joke ...next minute .. they will be saying to Van " ya don't want to do it like that Van " ! Ha
I don't like the music of Sir Van Morrison, I Love it! I saw him 3 Times live in concerts. But believe me: in stage He is Like a Bad and autistic Guy. Not a real pleasure to see his behaviour. Some decades ago I Met one of His musicians from THEM in a pub in my hometown and he said something in this way too: "He is a brilliant musician but an asshole, nothing more to say."
@@kelderecgraugnom8201 I've seen him twice and lucky enough to say he even had a laugh with the crowd however many share your sentiment. It's an interesting comment regarding autism as it wasn't really a thing when he was young. Perhaps he is autist8c, undiagnosed?
@TheReverendJohnson , they are Uhliann Pipes,"Elbow pipes", similar to bagpipes but the air is fed in via bellows worked by the elbow and the chanter has 9 holes.Very difficult to play and very expensive to buy! That guy with the Robin Hood haircut (lol), is Paddy Maloney, a legend in Irish musical circles!
ONE THING ABOUT VAN ,WRITE SING PERFORM PLAY GUITAR SAX MOUTH ORGAN PIANO DID I FORGET ANYTHING WELL HE DOES IT ALL VERY VERY WELL WHAT WE HERE IUS A GENIUS
is Macmanus a reference to Elvis (Declan Macmanus) Costello? "When the coalbrick man comes around on a cold November day" .... on a cold Indiana day, too..

''Of Van Morrison I hesitate to speak. The fellow is scarcely human. His merest belch is as lovely as the Song of the Sirens. He sweats beauty just as naturally as a Christian sweats hate.''
Van is known to be "temperamental," to say the least... He gives an angry type of glance, around 3:45 point, I am not sure if it is simply, thoughtful reflection; or, if a note or miscue by he or someone else upset him?

Amazing, amazing, amazing. I could listen to Van and The Chieftains any day, all day, every day.
Thank you Van. Love watching you drum and sing at the same time. So cool.
Sir Van Morrison is my favorite musician without any doubts 🙏
No one like this man. God Bless You Van. Our planet is blessed because of you.
Couldn't agree more.......

Patrick Kavanagh wrote the poem. Van had nothing to do with it.

Genius at work.............He ain't pretty, he ain't sociable, but he can sure knock out the tunes.
Well put Arfer!

John McEnroe asked him who he was ...Van replied ... Bozo The Fcukin Clown 🤡

Van is my Beatles. No one can touch him. 100%
Unspeakably moving and sacred...
This is sacred stuff.
I’m actually amazed at Van’s restraint!
He’s too busy LISTENING! Wow
Beautiful statement ☘️❤️
Love these instruments with Van singinggggg

Van is the greatest/ nobody can surpass him in any way!!!!!
Happy St. Patrick's Day...my all-time fave Irish tune, and Van on drums...it don't get any betta :)

Beautifulsong❤️VM

Van hits the skins. Never seen him do that before.The man has no limits.
The Irish air they're playing at the end is "The Red-Haired Man's Wife".
Sounds like a Crisp Morning Dew GodBlessLovePeaceToAllNations
so he can play drums too. Fantastic. He is a Genius
Multitalent Van Morrison!
He plays harmonika, piano, saxophone, guitar, organ and even percussion!
I’ve also heard somewhere that he can play harp
"Celtic Ray"
When Lewellyn comes around
And he goes through Market Town
You'll be on the Celtic Ray
Are you ready?
When McMannus comes around
On his early morning rounds
Crying "Heron 'a' lay"
You'll be on the Celtic Ray
Ireland, Scotland, Brittany and Wales
I can hear the ancient voices calling
"Children, children, children"
When the coal brick man comes 'round
On a cold November day
You'll be on the Celtic Ray
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Ireland, Scotland, Brittany and Wales
I can hear the ancient voices calling
"Children, children, children"
Listen Jimmy! I want to go home.
Listen Jimmy! I want to go home.
I've been away from the Ray too long
I've been away from the Ray too long
All over Ireland, Scotland, Brittany and Wales
I can hear the ancient voices calling
"Children, children, come home children"
"Children, come home on the Celtic Ray"
"In the early morning we'll go walking
where the light comes shining through
On the Celtic Ray
Come home children
Come home on the Celtic Ray
Thank you for correcting me, I've made the changes.
Stephen Morrissey shot my dom
Meant to say Stephen...no one likes a corrector on my country! It's a standing joke ...next minute ..
they will be saying to Van " ya don't want to do it like that Van " ! Ha
It’s “ Herring away”....MacMannus is a fish seller.
Great talent!
I have always admired Van!
I . would like to see him live in concert.
I don't like the music of Sir Van Morrison, I Love it!
I saw him 3 Times live in concerts.
