VAN MORRISON'S JUKEBOX: the Songs That Inspired the Man    Chrome Dreams

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.

JIMI HENDRIX'S JUKEBOX                                                      Chrome Dreams

Although his moment in the spotlight was woefully short, Jimi Hendrix remains one the most influential rock musicians of the past four decades and arguably the most important and creative electric guitarist of all time. During his brief four-year tenure at the top, Hendrix extended the vocabulary of the electric guitar more than anyone before or since. His ability to think outside the box enabled him to establish previously unimagined possibilities of the guitar and in doing so his unique playing style, which included the use of roaring distortion, feedback and effects pedals, virtually re-invented the instrument and permanently changed the course of rock music. Jimi Hendrix’s Jukebox is a journey through the many genres of music that Jimi loved and was influenced by.
