The Healing Game

Sing it in your name ...


Shamanic Van. Back on the corner again with call and response. A solo sax which takes you right, right, right up and then falls away leaving you deep down into doo-wop backing vocals and the call and response, up, up and up with gathering intensity as the repetition sets in, the horns swirl and that circular, trance inducing, elevation begins. Round and round, over and over. deeper and deeper, higher and higher.

Healed.

Sing it.


Sublime live version with everyone in blistering form. An incendiary solo from Leo Green.

Or could be. Touching, beautiful and wondrous.  Lord, he was a drinking man ...

Avalon Of The Heart

Going down by Avalon ... Magnificent in it's concept and performance, Van leading massed strings and gathered voices exulting in the magic of Avalon, the grail and the promise of rebirth. In the Upper Room the cup doth stand… Gonna make a brand new start ...
