Post Description

Van fans may be interested to know that an album has been released in Ireland containing a VM track which is not available elsewhere. It is a compilation of tracks recorded especially for a music programme called Sult, which was broadcast on the recently launched Irish language TV station (TnaG). 
Van does a lovely (seven minute) acoustic version of "St Dominic's Preview" with a band, consisting of many well known Irish musicians from the traditional and popular music genres. Band members are: Mary Black (backing vocals), Brendan Power (harmonica), Richie Buckley and Keith Donald (saxophones), Nollaig Casey (fiddle), Donal Lunny (bouzouki), Stephen Cooney (bass), Pat Crowley (keyboards), Noel Bridgeman (drums and backing vocals). Van himself contributes lead vocal and acoustic guitar. 
The album is called Sult: Spirit of the Music and is released on the Hummingbird Records label - its number is HBC0009. Hummingbird was the production company of the TV series "Bringing it all back home" which was broadcast all over the world about five years ago. Their E-mail address is topfloor@indigo.ie 
Also of interest to VM fans may be a vocal version of Van's song "Crazy Love" performed by Van’s vocal collaborator on "Days Like This", Brian Kennedy, and Irish group Anúna. Both tracks are only superb as is most of the album (to these Irish ears at least).
