WIN TICKETS: Joe Creighton plays Van Morrison
PLAYING MORRISON: ​Joe Creighton pays homage to Van Morrison at Redland Performing Arts Centre on Saturday, October 1.

​Joe Creighton brings a tremendous authenticity to his show that pays homage to the legendary Irish songwriter that is Van Morrison at Redland Performing Arts Centre at 7.30pm on Saturday, October 1.

Australian singer and bassist, Creighton grew up in Belfast during the late 1960s under the backdrop of the civil rights movement, riots, religious and social unrest. During these remarkable times he watched Van Morrison perform live in the early days of Them at the Maritime Club in Belfast. From the coffee shops on Belfast's Royal Avenue the anthemic chorus of G.L.O.R.I.A boomed, cementing a style of music that Creighton has carried with him throughout his stellar career.  It is this connection that allows Creighton to bring a raw honesty to his show that cannot be matched by others.

Known primarily as one of this country’s most formidable bass players that has seen him tour with John Farnham, Kylie Minogue and Olivia Newton John, Creighton is also a singer/songwriter with his debut album Hollywell released in 1994 to critical acclaim.

Into the Mystic sees Creighton effortlessly recreate the feeling of those heady days and releases the essence of the music that was so integral to the success of Van Morrison. He will be joined by the Belfast Horns to take the audience on a journey that begins in the 1960s and moves through the decades encompassing Van’s worldwide hits, with a sprinkling of some of the more mystical poetic songs from Astral Weeks.

There will be one performance only of Into the Mystic – The Music of Van Morrison at RPAC. Tickets are $38 to $45 and can be booked by calling the RPAC Box Office on 3829 8131 or visiting www.rpac.com.au (booking fees are $4.10 per transaction by phone and $3 per ticket online).
