I once saw his dad perform at the City Hall. He was superb.

I love Rufus. He's sometimes dirge-y I admit, but he writes some fantastic songs and is always watchable... fantastically entertaining in interview too. There was a documentary on BBC2 a few weeks ago, which was very good.

Of course I heard of him!

Son of Loudon Wainwright and Kate McGarrigal, wonderful musical lineage and a bit of a star!

Bit of a funny chap, but really talented.

his version of the beatles' 'across the universe' is really, really good - definitely superior to the original. well worth a listen.

His equally talented sister Martha is playing The Room (formerly The Fez Club) on Wednesday night - don't know if there are any tickets left but should be a good gig.

In my opinion Lennons poetry/vocals and Phil Spectors production of The Beatles 'Across the Universe' cannot be equaled or bettered by Rufus Wainright, God or anyone.
So there.
