Yusuf
Casts Moonshadow Across Birmingham:
Yusuf makes changes to concert
lineup.
Tonight,
Yusuf plays the National Indoor Academy in Birmingham, and
there have been some changes to the running order of the
show. The first 25 minutes will see Yusuf introducing a
showcase of ‘Moonshadow, his much-anticipated new
musical.
After
the break, Yusuf and his band will return for a full, uninterrupted
set of timeless classics and critically acclaimed new material.
Yusuf
had this to say about the changes:
“We’ve learnt a few lessons from the show in
Dublin and we’re confident that this time around,
fans will be better aware of what they’ll be coming
to see.” We hope you all enjoy the show.

The
Concert:
The first concert in a series of concert
dates, didn't go out with out a few clinches, but over all
it was a huge success. Yusuf sang 22 song; 14
classics, 7 from his two new CD's and one previously unheard
of song, 'The Glass House'. And introduced a preview to
his upcoming musical, Moonshadow.
There were some disgruntled attendees
because they wanted nothing but a cat Stevens top 40's reprisal.
But for the 95% of the fans who stayed and enjoyed the concert;
they were treated to an unbelievable show with a gracious
host. Two encores which concluded with a Father and Son
duel with Ronan Keating.
Youtube is featuring many videos from
the night. To enjoy them, go here:

Dublin 'the O2' concert is tonight:
Tonight
starts the first, in a series of concerts for Yusuf, as
he begins his 'I'll take my time' tour 2009. This has been
a long time in the making, hundreds if not thousands of
fans anxiously wait tonight's concert. Fans are coming from
the USA, Germany, Croatia, Belgium, as well as Ireland and
England. Fans who have long awaited for a concert tour like
this. May Yusuf have a terrific time up on stage singing
to his hearts content. I am sure each fan has a wish for
a particular song. And hopefully he will song most of them.
My big wish is that these concerts will give Yusuf the incentive
to take this show to other countries, where even more fans
eagerly are waiting for a word of a possible world tour.
Who knows, with Yusuf, anything could be possible. Until
then, to the many lucky fans who are able to attend any
of the 4 city concerts, ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY! And don't forget
to let us know what a terrific concert it was. It should
prove to be a very memorable evening for all.

We
all remember the Bamboozle(74) & Majikat(976) tours
