In 2014, Yusuf, who used to call himself CAT STEVENS, was inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame. It was the overdue recognition of a musician who had a lasting influence on the sound of the seventies with his ingratiating folk pop: an extraordinary composer, poet and philosopher with a distinctive voice and inventive guitar technique.
His profundity, variety of songs and the themes he dealt with secure Cat Stevens an important place in rock history.

"The CAT STEVENS Story" tells the story of Steven Demetre Georgiou, who called himself "Cat Stevens" as an artist and "Yusuf Islam" as a Muslim. "We will be playing tracks from his first record releases in the sixties and all the hits from his most creative phase in the early seventies, when he enjoyed worldwide success with the LPs "Tea for the Tillerman" and "Teaser and the Firecat".
You will also hear some tracks from his more recent releases - and learn a lot about a thoroughly contradictory man, brilliant musician and composer - the "CAT STEVENS STORY" - the band's musicians promise.
