Windy City Irish Radio

Irish treasure Van Morrison celebrated his 70th birthday on Cypress Avenue in Belfast this week and tonight on Windy City Irish Radio, the lads celebrate along with the Belfast Cowboy as they pay him tribute. Featuring Celtic Soul from Van the Man, himself, collaborating with The Chieftains, Mary Black, Maura O'Connell, Moya Brennan, the late great Ray Charles and Robbie Robertson with The Band and covering early hits with 60s rock band Them to classic croons over the decades, the Belfast Cowboy influenced scores of musicians and songwriters. You'll also hear tributes from Dexys Midnight Runners, Glen Hansard, Maria McKee, Michael Bublé and John Mellencamp. Happy Birthday Van! Join Mike Shevlin and Tim Taylor each Wednesday night on WSBC 1240AM Chicago and WCFJ 1470AM Chicago Heights from 8pm to 9pm or listen to our podcast at www.windycityirishradio.com
