Keith James - The Music of Yusuf/Cat Stevens
Saturday 23 September, 8pm. Doors open at 7:30pm
Keith James presents an honest and loving reflection of the timeless and insightful music of Yusuf - Cat Stevens.
Join Keith as 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, his illness that changed him existentially and spiritually into an incredibly thoughtful and loving singer songwriter; such that his songs are remembered instantly for their uplifting sense of vision, truth and human fragility.
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.
There will be insights into the background and embryo of each song; some of which will be performed as all of us remember and some, carefully and intuitively re-voiced; respectfully re-interpreted with rich, balanced guitar arrangements and a more personal vocal approach.
Proceeds and audience donations from this tour of concerts will go to the UNICEF UK Syrian Children’s appeal.
