Van Morrison will release his new album ‘Remembering Now!’

It represents his first collection of original music since 2022 and also follows the acclaimed covers albums ‘Moving On Skiffle’ and ‘Accentuate The Positive’.

The album’s launch is accompanied by the long-awaited single ‘Down To Joy’, which receives its first official release after memorably featuring in Kenneth Branagh’s Oscar and BAFTA winning film ‘Belfast’. Beyond his key band members, ‘Remembering Now’ features an array of accomplished collaborators.

Its strings were arranged and directed by Fiachra Trench (Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello), whose association with Van Morrison goes back to ‘Avalon Sunset’ in 1989. Those strings were performed by the Fews Ensemble led by Joanne Quigley.
