Description: Van Morrison, the man, and his music were profoundly shaped by his early life in Belfast. His songs are populated with Belfast place names: Fitzroy Avenue, Sandy Row, Beechie River, Cherryvalley, North Bridge Road, Abetta Parade, Orangefield, Castlereagh Hills, Cyprus Avenue and, of course, his birthplace, Hyndford Street. It seems that you can take the boy out of Belfast but you can’t take Belfast out of the boy.
