Keith James

Keith James presents an honest and loving reflection of the timeless and insightful music of Yusuf - Cat Stevens.

The amassed body of music from this hugely popular and sincerely adored 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; live versions are played in concerts, bars and on the world's beaches to this day.

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 is a well respected and inventive guitarist singer/songwriter who specialises in performing intimate, carefully researched biographic style concerts. He weaves the story of Cat Stevens’ life from his early pop career, life threatening illness and spiritual journey around a performance of his well crafted and memorable songs.

Yusuf campaigns on many educational and humanitarian issues: he was awarded the 'Man of Peace' award by the Nobel Peace Laureates in 2015; he received the Lifetime achievement award from BBC Radio 2; and the Ivor Novello Award for outstanding song collection.

He has also received two honorary doctorates and awards for promoting peace from two organisations founded by Mikhail Gorbachev. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.

This concert will give you far more than just the music itself.
