This weekend Battle Abbey is transformed into a swish music venue, for two concerts of equally grand proportions.

Tomorrow, our man Van brings us an evening of jazz, blues and soul. The last time Belfast's most cantankerous son was down our way, earlier this year, he played tracks from latest album, Pay The Devil, as well as a couple of his incredible classics.

The following day, chirpy tenor Russell Watson makes a guest appearance at Last Night of The Battle Abbey Proms with the City Of London Orchestra. A fireworks day will end both concerts, along with a choreographed Spitfire display to the music on Sunday.

  • Tomorrow, starts 7.30pm, tickets £26/£29.

Sunday, starts 7.30pm, tickets £25/£20.
