"On a throne of Ulster day You came my way in Orangefield" How touching to hear the name Ulster used so poetically and free of all the usual political connotations.

[@richardjohnson3463]

Indeed!👍👋

[@philastokes]

I keep coming back to this. It is so lovely.

[@neillstevenson5327]

Sittin in my livin room in New Zealand tryin not to cry.......... makin me miss home like never before 😢

[@emcbride7453]

Revisiting the birthday tributes to find the ones I missed. Duke, you're hitting notes that make my soul tingle ... in a memory.

[@NigelCharlesworth]

This rendition shows just how good the song is.

[@richardjohnson3463]

Just as good to perfect as it gets

[@garyshiels9158]

Beautiful rendition. Whoever had the idea for Rave on Van Morrison was inspired. Been listening all morning and every cover has been a delight. Rave on!

[@roybailie5976]

I went for a walk the other day in Orangefield. I can just imaging this beauty walking through, sun in her hair, the admirer smitten.

[@jimmcmullan7771]

A beautiful version. From age five to fifteen I doubt there was a day that I was not in Orangefield.. It truly was my second home. Over the years I have been lucky enough to be a regular visitor ,to see the changes in this wonderful place and enjoy its peace.On every visit this song was in my head and I imagined Van walking where I was. Magical.

Duke's voice is like liquid gold, I love this 👍

[@robbieendris3948]

‘How I loved you then in Orangefield like I love you now in Orangefield....”. Beautiful voice and piano - truly musical and touching love song interpretation.

[@eldodderino8146]

Of all of the birthday tribute covers I think this is my favourite.. Captures the tender open heartedness of the song.

[@barbaraadams3169]

Duke, Your rendition of Orangefield was outstanding. Such an emotional song and you were brilliant. Thank you. 👏 🍀 ✨ 🌠

[@SimonAtTheegardnerhome]

The ability to make a song your own is something special, duke special...🍊🌳 The sun was setting on Avalon tonight, top marks Mr.Wilson.

[@aidankearney493]

@hotpress what a gift you have given to the fans of Van. These covers are gold. The Duke takes a bow.

[@gerritdawson7531]

Piercing and haunting! I can’t stop listening to this! Can’t believe one of my favorite Van songs could be made better, but you did it!

[@doctor19741]

Great voice as ever... strange to see the man without the dreds... rem a night in de barras, piano, candle light and crashing cymbals ... a true artist at work, lost to the muse! 👏👏

[@johndunnejnr]

Nice one Pete. Love it, but then it's hard to beat a bit of Van the Man, particularly as I grew up with Orangefild Park as my back garden :-)
