Got a last minute invite and spare ticket to see Rufus Wainwright at the Guildhall in Southampton last night. Went with Amanda Scadgell. To my pleasant surprise I find Suneil Pusari on the FOH desk and turn out he is touring with Rufus as his main man for this tour. So pleased to see Suneil. Rufus turned out to be a more sombre and tortured soul which did not surprise me but hearing him forget the words or music to his own songs made the whole thing even more entertaining. The art of it gets even more amusing when the compere announced that ‘rufus would like the audience to refrain from any applause from the moment he walks onto the stage to the moment he walks off the stage, this is all part of the performance’ – what a load of tosh. HD projection and content was done really well.
