The Music of Yusuf – Cat Stevens
Landmark Arts Centre, Ferry Road, Teddington, TW11 9NN
Music
Friday 28th March
Keith James presents an honest and loving reflection of the timeless and insightful music of Yusuf – Cat Stevens.
It is hardly surprising that, to mark its 50th anniversary, Yusuf has entirely re-recorded and re-released his remarkable Album Tea for the Tillerman, with each of the unforgettable 11 songs re-conceptualized and re-imagined and gifted back to us among all the uncertainties of 2020 – 2023. As if that wasn't significant enough, he has also released a brand-new Album entitled King of a Land and appeared at Glastonbury Festival.
During the early 1970s, music from this hugely popular and sincerely loved singer/songwriter made for a collection of 'must have' records across a whole generation. Tea for the Tillerman and Teaser and the Firecat were on everyone's turntables and on every radio station. Songs such as Wild World, Father and Son, Moonshadow and Where do the Children play have been covered by hundreds of Artists worldwide.
Keith James weaves the story of Cat Stevens' life from his early pop career, life threatening illness and spiritual journey around a performance of his beautifully crafted and memorable songs. Keith has performed well over 150 of these concerts since 2017, all of which have been incredibly well received, with many sold out.
