FANS of talented rock artist Van Morrison, pictured below, will be delighted to hear he is booked in to play Cheltenham this month.

The legendary musician - who has had a string of hits over his 30-plus-year career including Gloria and Have I Told You Lately - will be playing at Cheltenham Town Hall on Thursday, September 23.

The concert - which starts at 8pm - marks a welcome return to the town for the singer, whose most recent album draws on the musical touchstones that have inspired him throughout his career, including soul, blues, folk and jazz styles.

Tickets (which are seated) are £30 and £17.50 and are available by calling the box office on 01242 227979.
