Just off Ballyhackamore is the iconic Cyprus Avenue, which played host to legendary Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison. Van Morrison famously wrote the song 'Cyprus Avenue' in 1968 and in August 2015 celebrated his 70th birthday in style, setting up stage at the end of Cyprus Avenue and playing two exclusive concerts for both the residents of Cyprus Avenue and special guests from all over the world.
