It should come as no surprise that Van Morrison has made an album inspired by skiffle. Van Morrison's love of skiffle dates back to his childhood. He would hang out at the famed Belfast record store Atlantic Records, where he'd hear early 20th century folk, blues and jazz from the likes of Lead Belly and Jelly Roll Morton.
'Moving On Skiffle' finds him taking a homemade style that exploded across Britain in the mid-1950s and infusing it with a level of sophistication and soulfulness that it didn't always possess the first time around. The 23-track album goes to the heart of the music Van Morrison has inhabited ever since he was six years old, hanging out in the smoky confines of Belfast's Atlantic Records.
It also contains songs that underline, in their messages on the importance of freedom and living on your own terms, his lifetime philosophy.

unique sound. John Mayall vocals, harmonica, slide guitar,

Live performance at the Montreux music festival by the late British
blues guitarist Gary Moore. Raised in Belfast, Moore began playing
the guitar at an early age and jammed as a teen with Phil Lynott
and Brian Downey, leading him to assume membership of the pair's
band, Thin Lizzy, on no less than three occasions. Moore is
arguably better known for his solo work, however. After a long
career producing blues music, it was rumoured that he planned on
returning to his rock roots for his next album. Unhappily, Moore
died in 2011, before it could be completed. The performance at
Montreux was the last of his gigs to be filmed and finds the
guitarist playing a blend of rock and blues classics from his long
career.
