"Streets of Arklow", Van Morrison & Mick Hucknall

"Streets of Arklow" Van Morrison & Mick Hucknall
Album: "Duets: Re-working the Catalogue".
Veedon Fleece was a bunch of songs that I wrote and then I just recorded it about four weeks after I wrote it Streets of Arklow describes a perfect day in God’s green land and is a tribute to the Wicklow town visited during his vacation trip.
The opening lines of the song:
“And as we walked through the streets of Arklow, oh the colours of the day warm, and our heads were filled with poetry, in the morning coming on to dawn” were said to “contain the thematic seed of the whole album: nature, poetry, God, innocence re-found and love lost by PopMatters critic John Kennedy.
Veedon Fleece fue un montón de canciones que escribí y luego las grabé unas cuatro semanas después de que lo escribiera.
“Streets of Arklow “describe un día perfecto en la tierra verde de Dios y es un homenaje a la ciudad de Wicklow visitada durante su viaje de vacaciones.
Las primeras líneas de la canción: "Y mientras caminábamos por las calles de Arklow, oh los colores del día cálido, y nuestras cabezas estaban llenas de poesía, por la mañana llegando al amanecer" se decía que "contienen la semilla temática de todo el álbum: naturaleza, poesía, Dios, inocencia reencontrada y amor perdido, por el crítico de PopMatters John Kennedy.

Veedon Fleece is still one of my favorites.
In 1973 it gave me my initiation to Celtic sensibility

Anyone have an idea of where the thumbnail photo of Van Morrson, Mick Hucknall and Robert Plant was taken? I can just imagine the conversation amongst these accomplished veterans.
