- Martha Wainwright »
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!

22nd Manchester, Night & Day www
24th Glasgow, Brel www

Martha Wainwright appears in The Aviator & UK date
I for one will be there.
It'll be good to see her without Rufus' shadow hanging over her.
Fave Scorsese film?
Easy, Goodfellas

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!
