Yusuf Stevens

[maninkilt]

Old Mr Stevens (as was) has been a little more active recently, even appearing on tele, and is writing some new matterial.

As a fantastic artist, a very spiritual man and an original from the scene of 40 years ago surely he would be perfect to play this year.

Well?

That would be amazing. Sunday afternoon legend spot at the pyramid.

Glastonbury tried very very hard to get him to play a few years ago (he was the act that Eavis was reported as saying he was very excited about), but despite many hours of trying to persuade him, he wouldn't do it, as he didn't wish to be involved in something of such a high profile.

At that time tho he'd done very little for many years, so it's possible I guess that he'd be more happy to do it now (tho I ain't holding my breath).

have a word with ME!

[Peache Calhoon]

+1 again on this one for me

That would have to go down instantly as one of the top performances in festival history would it not?

Apparently he is very hit and miss live. His gig in Dublin a few months back had people booing and walking out. They were expecting a greatest hits set, which they most certainly didnt get.

Cat Stevens - a singer/songwriter worth listening to. Unlike many of the artists around today Mr Stevens knew how to write a stonking good tune!

I think that review is pretty subjective. I wouldn't say that was a regular occurance!

"Islam paused his performance for a 40 minute preview of his forthcoming musical, "Moonshadow". A cast led by former Hear’say singer Noel Sullivan trouped on to act, dance and deliver a mix of new material"

Dublin was a great set list - the booing issue was due to stopping his section halfway through to promote his new musical before returning to play more. That meant some of his songs weren't sung by him!

[guypjfreak]

i read that he was skint after spending his money on his faith

just dont get to close in-case he has a bomb

not really related to if he is playing or not but I dealt with his baggage claim when his camera was stolen from his suitcase. Not happy when told it was a valuable item and should have been in hand luggage so was not covered. Did not have travel insurance tut tut

This would be so incredible, One of the very finest singer-songwriters of the seventies! So many tunes!

I once served meatloaf a coffee.

Not that relevant but I try to tell people whenever possible.
