Music feature: Sir Van Morrison's Astral Weeks

RNZ News29-07-2025
Time for our Tuesday music feature and today we'll be diving deep into one of the most acclaimed records in rock music, Sir Van Morrison's 'Astral Weeks'. This was Morrison's seconds studio album, and althought he'd had a huge hit on his debut with 'Brown Eyed Girl', he couldn't have strayed further from his pop roots. To contextualise 'Astral Weeks' and play some of his favourites from the record, it's my pleasure to welcome Samuel Flynn Scott, founding member of the Phoenix Foundation.
