BBC One Sessions

Yusuf Islam

Duration: 50 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One North East & CumbriaLatest broadcast: on BBC HD

The artist formerly known as Cat Stevens gives his first full concert in nearly three decades, in this exclusive performance recorded for the BBC at the Porchester Hall, London. Having sold more than 60 million records before he retired from the music business in 1979, Yusuf's back with a new album An Other Cup and a readiness to take to the stage once more.
In an exotic Morrocan cafe-style set complete with palm trees, he and his band treat the audience of friends, family and fans to songs from right across his career, including classic tracks like Father and Son, Peace Train, Wild World and Where Do The Children Play as well as a selection of his new material.
