Van Morrison is the latest act announced for the annual Eden Sessions held in the surroundings of the Eden Project in Cornwall. His show will be on Saturday 1st July.

Rita Broe, Eden's marketing director, said: "Sir Van Morrison at the Eden Sessions on a summer night is a match made in musical heaven. We are so honoured to be welcoming a virtuoso singer-songwriter whose pure original genius has taken him from East Belfast to global superstardom, placing him high in the pantheon of truly great artists over more than half a century. This is going to be a magical concert. On a personal note, he is a hero of mine whose albums are like a life soundtrack. We are proud to present Sir Van to his legions of devoted fans."

Tickets will cost £50, and go on sale (from the link below) at 5.30pm on Tuesday 4th April.
