Last night saw Van play the second of three very special gigs at Orangefield High School to mark the closure of his old school. Van cut a dash in his usual smart suit and shades set off with a specially commissioned hat sporting a band in his old school colours.
The set list had a particular poignancy as he opened with Got to Go Back and Orangefield.
On Friday night the audience were restricted to ex pupils and teachers at a special price of £25 per ticket. Last night's show was open to everyone and an extra gig has been put on tonight due to the demand from ex Orangefield pupils.
The 400 strong audience clearly appreciated the opportunity to see a music icon back in his old stomping ground and the three shows will represent a fitting tribute to his alma mater.
