Thanks for the link Chris, nice previews. Now hopefully the show will appear in its entirety "somewhere, somehow" (!!) after it is broadcast on Sunday.

I guess this answers my question:
"Coming soon - Yusuf's Cafe Session, the DVD."

That interview was funny.two parts for me stands out.
Yusuf referece to himself "Legend in my own life time" at 5:22 in the vid.
He kinda smirk at that reference i think that might have been due to Carly Simons song "Legend in your own time".Well i observation anyways.
Also in 8:58 into the intview vid focuses a shot on baldilox sorry a bald man - he owns the Glanstonbury festival could it they be might hint for a possible appearance at the festival!
Oh my god i just realised what i just wrote!!! I'am turning into vivian a cat stevens/yusuf islam fanatic..God please save me from this fate.

My daughter will be recording the BBC show straight to her PC, although I'm told it might not be of the highest quality. Shame I haven't got a recordable DVD player.

Ahh, sorry crobarbie, just feel a bit speechless at the moment, it was wonderful ;D ;D ;D but as I was present at the recording you can read the reviews in The Great Concerts section, the sound wasn't always perfect and they didn't show Yusuf singing Don't be Shy, The Little Ones or (I think) Maybe there's a World which is a shame, but this concert is being shown again on Friday evening on BBC4 and will be 10 minutes longer so I assume we're see more then ;D ;D

Well, I hope that YouTube will show parts of concert in next few days... maybe they did not show Don't be Shy and Maybe there's a World because we can see them via BBC Session web page... but I hope that official DVD will come soon, as it was mentioned in email for subscribers

Ciao, prijatelju. "Well, I hope that YouTube will show parts of concert in next few days..." youtube videos are uploaded by members there, like you and me. 99% is the unofficial, bootleg material. the other 1% gets deleted pretty soon. "maybe they did not show Don't be Shy and Maybe there's a World because we can see them via BBC Session web page" more likely because the uploader's account would've been deleted within the matter of minutes for grabbing and then posting the stuff from BBC's page. pozdrav |

It was FANTASTIC :- :-)
The setting was so atmospheric, the sound quality was superb - and Yusuf - so relaxed, so at ease. The mention of his baby grand daughter and seeing her there fast asleep, she's so beautiful. Alun in his rightful place sitting beside Yusuf - it was all just too much !!!!!!!! I'll be watching this time and time again. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of Doreen and Joanne.
Im still devastated that I missed the chance to be there but I was poorly with pleurisy - but if theres a next time I'll be there :-)
But for those of you who havent seen it yet you're in for a treat.

Sounds really nice! I like the way he's sticking (or coming back to) the original orchestral arrangements. Maybe he's gonna have to sing it in F instead of G in the future, would be easier for him to reach those high notes! ;D
