Yusuf Islam wows Crop crowd

Iconic singer-songwriter Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens) wowed the Cropredy crowd last weekend with a selection of new and old songs (but not Father and Son).

His first festival appearance for 37 years, Islam joined Fairport Convention on stage for the closing gig of the festival, which takes place over three days annually in Oxfordshire.

Other festival highlights include Ade Edmondson and the Bad Shepherds, Richard Thompson and the ubiquitous Seth Lakeman.

Next year’s, Fairport’s Cropredy Convention will take place on 13/14/15 August. For more information visit www.fairportconvention.com.
