Want Rufus

Kit Ashton And Friends

All in all, this wasnt really for me, but it must be said that the rest of the crowd packing out The Hanbury clearly loved it. And the evening, predominantly a tribute to Rufus Wainwright, did see the musical collective on stage themselves having a great time, which was infectious and wonderful to see. Lead singer Kit Ashton had a friendly, inclusive yet modest stage presence which was incredibly disarming. The surprise hit of the night for me, however, was one of the guest singers - Brett Dickinson - whose singing was entrancing. It certainly looks like Ashton should maintain his momentum and organise more such nights.
