About this event
This Concert is performed as a gesture of belief in the possibility that harmony and understanding between us all may be interwoven into today’s World.
Keith James presents an honest and loving reflection of the timeless and insightful music of Yusuf – Cat Stevens. 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.
During the early 1970s, 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 Moonshadow have been covered by hundreds of artistes worldwide.
Keith James is a long standing, well-respected and inventive concert performer who specialises in playing intimate, carefully researched biographic style concerts of those he has studied and revered as writers over the years. He 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.
This concert will give you far more than just the music itself. There is a huge amount of insight into the history and the spirit of Cat Stevens; his early pop career, and the illness that changed him existentially and spiritually such that his songs are remembered instantly for their uplifting sense of vision, truth and human fragility.
Some songs will be performed as all of us remember and some, carefully and intuitively re-voiced; respectfully re-interpreted.
‘Some of the most atmospheric and emotive music you will ever hear’ – The Independent
‘Keith James has become a pillar of trust. A sublimely intimate and engaging voice’ – Sunday Times
