Martha Wainwright appears in The Aviator & UK dates announced

Martha returns to the UK...

The lady with the big, big, big... enigmatic voice is coming back to the UK in February to play a series of intimate acoustic shows to preview the release of her self-titled debut album due on Drowned in Sound Recordings in April.

But before the below dates, you can catch Martha Wainwright in the new Scorsese, Howard Hughes biopic blockbuster The Aviator. Martha, and her brother Rufus and their father Loudon, all perform in the bar and feature on the soundtrack. The movie is out from Boxing Day in US and London's West End and then nationwide in mid-January. DiS saw a preview of it recently and it's really good, even tho' Di Caprio is in it!

FEBRUARY
21st London, Barfly www
22nd Manchester, Night & Day www
24th Glasgow, Brel www
25th Birmingham, Glee Club www

Tickets are very limited for these intimate shows but available from the usual outlets or from the venues direct using the www links above.

Her UK debut EP 'Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole' is out now. The first single proper, 'Factory', is out on March 21st.

She's ace.

I for one will be there.
It'll be good to see her without Rufus' shadow hanging over her.

Fave Scorsese film?
Easy, Goodfellas

I saw Martha supporting Rufus a few months back and i've got to say it really didn't do much for me. It was ok but all the songs were quite similar and her voice got tedious after a while. As far as her music is concerned, i think she'll always have rufus' shadow hanging over her.

Saw her in Notting Hill arts club.She does overdoes it with her voice sometimes but she does have a quirkyness about her and her EP realy grown on me.
"bloody motherfucking bastard" is such a gorgeous song

Martha Wainwright is fabulous. When's the album out?

The thought of Martha Wainwright singing "I'll Be Seeing You" sends shivers through me... I can't wait to hear it.

Best Martha songs: Don't Forget, BMFA, Far Away.

Rufus is fabulous, yes, but Martha is a stand-alone talent, completely different style of song/singing/lyrics/melody. Pointless comparing the two.

Have just purchased my tickets for the London Barfly show. Very excited!

i have actually come round to like BMFA after originally not liking it at all. something in the ms. wainwright's voice still seems to strain to hard at times (like, bellowing a bit), but there are some nice lines in it, and i got kinda hooked on it for a while. s'good.
