07-January-2012 Culloden Hotel, Belfast, Northern Ireland

Pic tweeted by Golfer Darren Clarke who was at the gig
Trevor was one of the lucky few to see Van's charity gig at the Culloden Hotel in Belfast:

As you’d expect, right on time at 21.00, Van and band walked on stage. There followed one and a half hours of superb performance. Although it was clear early in the set that Van was struggling vocally, he shone through to perform an extraordinary set. Normally I’m used to Van’s audience sitting or standing concentrating on Van’s every word and move, but on this occasion it was bizarre watching the antics of dancers directly in front of the stage, but soon we joined them to get up close to the 2 ft high stage upon which Van’s 7 piece band rocked and rolled.


It was a very memorable occasion.
