Rufus Wainwright - Islington Academy

Saw Rufus Wainwright last night at Islington Academy (strange venue, in a shopping centre, but nice and small). He was really good, a very engaging performer, and his band are excellent. Even the seen-it-all-before London audience were relatively quiet while he did his solo piano thing. His 'new' album Want Two is out on Monday - will be interesting to see if all the critical attention he is getting turns into commercial success.
