"New Arrangements and Duets", the new album, will be released on 27th September. This album represents a small percentage of the huge amount of unreleased material we are hoping to roll out in the near future, rather than letting it gather dust in some archive.

This week, once again, an article described me as
"anti-vax".
This is false.
I am not "anti-vax".
I believe in freedom and a free society.
Which means I believe in freedom of choice with regard to vaccination.
Day 90 - since I asked the Northern Ireland Health Minister to disclose all the scientific evidence for the blanket ban on live music. We are still waiting.
In an anonymously written article on the BBC website this morning, I was described as having “expressed concern” about vaccines.
This is false.

The UK is my home. My business, directly and indirectly, provides employment for thousands of people each year. Imperial College, UK Govt and NI Executive have plunged us into lockdown destroying those livelihoods. It’s time they provide the roadmap back out.
Day 86 - since I asked the Northern Ireland Health Minister to disclose all the scientific evidence for the blanket ban on live music. We are still waiting.
Day 94 - since I asked the Northern Ireland Health Minister to disclose all the scientific evidence for the blanket ban on live music. We are still waiting.
The Great Barrington Declaration offers a roadmap out of the current crises but there has been a well-orchestrated attempt to suppress and discredit it. For those u of you struggling to find it, here’s the link.
A guitar genius who will be so sorely missed, and as well as that, a genuinely lovely guy. My thoughts are with Sandra and the family. Rest in peace, Jeff.
In 2019, the Music Industry contributed £5.8 Billion to the UK economy, an 11% increase on the previous year. Thanks to the UK Government next year’s report will show a figure close to £0.
Did you know that live music is ILLEGAL in Northern Ireland? No other region of the UK has imposed such detrimental restrictions on our sector. Where is the evidence to justify such a severe approach?
"To deprive our population of livelihood, civil liberties and education, we believe that the evidence to support this should be scientifically robust and beyond reproach. That is clearly not the case."
So just another ordinary evening, having dinner with

before going to his show tonight, along with
@JamesMelville
and fellow anti-lockdowners. The first dance with my husband at our wedding was Have I Told You Lately... ☺️
This is terrifying.
Government representatives making pronouncements ostensibly in the interests of public safety whilst simultaneously admitting they haven’t examined the evidence.

We spoke to musicians in Northern Ireland to find out how they are coping. We simply cannot allow this. Musicians around the UK have been let down, and the government must support those in need.
UK Scientists on a committee that encouraged the use of fear to control people’s behaviour during the Covid pandemic have admitted its work was “unethical” and “totalitarian”.
We spoke to musicians in Northern Ireland to find out how they are coping. We cannot expect musicians who have worked their entire lives in a career they love to abandon it. We urge the government to set out a plan, to recover the arts sector.
The
@niexecutive
have published their ‘scientific evidence documents’ defending the restrictions currently in place, citing ‘multiple anectodoatal [sic] reports’ as justification for the shutdown of an entire industry. This is not ‘scientific evidence’.
While in Boston performing at the Boch Theatre Van Morrison also made a visit to the Wang Theatre for a tour of the 'Folk Americana Roots Hall of Fame'.
So sorry to hear of the passing of fellow Irish Musician Paddy Maloney. He was a great musical talent, we shared many laughs together and his legacy will endure.
Don't miss out on

"I’d welcome a conversation about the science or to see the evidence as to why shops, gyms, restaurants and football stadia can open from December and theatres, with all our Covid precautions, can’t." Artistic director James Brining, Leeds Playhouse

In the interests of clarity, definitely not in a bid to “force the country out of Lockdown” as some media have stated. Nor is the legal action an attempt to force the government to reopen live music venues during a Lockdown. Reporting needs to be accurate!
We are delighted to announce the new double album 'Latest Record Project Volume 1', a 28-track delve into Van's ongoing love of blues, R&B, jazz and soul. Pre-order your copy ahead of release on 7th May 2021 and listen to 'Latest Record Project' now:
"we cannot keep closing the country down or forcing specific sectors to close to beat back this virus. That strategy, designed to buy time, is in reality a failure and will ultimately ensure total despair engulfs all of our people.”
📣 The next campaign single As I Walked Out will be available THIS FRIDAY 🎼 Proceeds from these singles will support musicians impacted by the ongoing UK lockdown restrictions.
