MUSIC NEWS: 

Van Morrison had a few gripes against Hot Press in his time, but that hasn't stopped the long-running publication from organising a series of online performances to mark the singer's 75th birthday.  Rave On Van Morrison began on Tuesday, and continues until August 16, with various artists performing covers of the Belfast man's songs. For instance, tomorrow (Saturday) has Tim Wheeler of Ash doing 'Jackie Wilson Said', while Monday features a Gary Lightbody-led ensemble taking on 'Into The Mystic'.
