Van Morrison has launched a campaign to save the music industry and is donating profits from his new collection of anti-lockdown songs to musicians impacted by measures he claims do "more harm than good".

Eric Clapton has voiced his support for Van Morrison's efforts to find solutions so venues can reopen at full capacity.

"It is deeply upsetting to see how few gigs are going ahead because of the lockdown restrictions," he said.

"There are many of us who support Van and his endeavours to save live music, he is an inspiration.

"We must stand up and be counted because we need to find a way out of this mess.

"The alternative is not worth thinking about. Live music might never recover."
Well, well the birds in the the trees
Know something we can't see.
'Cos they know, we were born, to be free.

Don't need the government cramping my style
Give them an inch, they take a mile.
Take you in with a phony smile,
Wouldn't you agree.

The new normal is not normal,
It's no kind of normal at all.
Everyone seems to have amnesia,
Just trying to remember the Berlin Wall.

Some kind of new old ideology,
With new psychology,
But it's not for the benefit,
Of you and me.
