Van Morrison brings it all (nearly) back home on May 3 when he plays Derry’s Millennium Forum.

“The once off set-list for the show will feature a selection of his greatest hits and songs that have a particular resonance to his Irish roots and is set to be one of the musical highlights of 2012 and the headline act for the City of Derry Jazz & Big Band Festival,” says a spokesperson for the venue.

Tickets priced £66.50 go on sale on Thursday February 16 and won’t we imagine be hanging around for long.
