Some more things about the ROH

Hi there everyone,

Been a bit delayed in posting some things I have noticed, and hope I can find them all again.... been preoccupied with weddings and as was just at the Martha and Rufus one on Tues, lost track of the others in as much detail.. or something like that! ....

Firstly this is from today's newspaper, so go out and get it if you are in the UK!: The Observer - which I still have yet to do!

No idea if I have done this first one already... probably have:

Don't Go Breaking My Heart

Poses

Sweet Thames Flow Softly (which i now have playing repeat on youtube, singing along with my own 'harmonies'!!!)

oops, i never posted this... just opened this window up a coupe of hours later... sorry not many links yet... there are prob more reviews and def a few more vids with a youtube search...

Some great pics from 'The House of Rufus' at the ROH

which of course includes pics of Martha.... Try the link here

Review in The Independent

Great Review in The Independent

Agree with most of that this reviewer had to say.... as have to say that 'When the Day is Short' and 'Factory' with the band were def a couple of my favourites of the night.

Review(s) of Last Night at the ROH

from This is London

I was there too!

First half was Martha, solo and with the band for a few numbers. Second half started out with Rufus solo and then Martha and the rest of the band joined....

Particularly liked the stuff with Rufus and the band....

First half... There were about 3 new songs played as well as.... urm.... let me try and remember (in no particular order)..... When the Day is Short, Factory, This Life, L'Accordioniste, La Foule, Tell My Sister, The Car Song, Year of the Dragon, I am a Diamond.....

Second half.... have a look at my pic of (someone else's) programme, as think mostly correct.....

The 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart' duet with Rufus was fun and gave me a chuckle! But all really good and really like the sound of the band! One of Martha's new songs in the first half was a band song, and really hope there will be more songs in that direction.... as it created a good vibe!

Sorry bit tired, but if I think of something else I will add it!!!

I've been a little slack of late.... but!

Here is something to get you going again.... Here is a link to some family pics, which will be part of the 'House of Rufus' big box set thingy! And yes, next week Martha is playing with Rufus at the Royal Opera House on Tuesday 19th July! No doubt she will be appearing with him on the other nights too.... (Depends how much you can afford!)

Another reminder about the 'Every Mother Counts' CD and film

here

Martha has two songs on the CD which is on sale now in Starbucks in the US and Canada and Martha composed music for the film, that will be aired on 7th May.

I say it should be sold over here in the UK too! (Well worldwide!)

don't know much about this gig but....

here is a link to a performance on 29th April 2011 in NY

Back! With a few goodies that you may or may not have seen....

Decided things seem to be less hectic than they were and it is the least I can do to still upload the things I find/see somewhere else.... Apologies for going away as such- but just didn't want you to think I would have updated info here when I didn't. On reflection I don't think it would have taken so long to keep up to date! Anyway, all that said, here we go:

So- you have prob already seen these things already, but just in case:

Martha Wainwright.com has this link to a rather large article in this month's 'Elle" magazine.

There seem to be quite a few pics of this event about, but I think this one has the most comprehensive selection, with Martha featuring a lot in them here: SAKS FIFTH AVENUE Celebrates the Launch of COSTUME NATIONAL

Also, there is a Kate McGarrigle documentary that will hopefully take place if the family get enough finds together. It will contain performances from the upcoming NY tribute concerts. Here is an article from CBC and there is more info, including about how to donate here on Rufus' website. (Phew took a while to find that link.)

You might also like to know that a new Kate and Anna McGarrigle Box set called 'Tell My Sister' is going on sale. It will include their first two albums as well as an album of previously unreleased demos. Here is a link to the McGarrigle website, explaining more about the release on Nonesuch records, May 3rd.
