Somewhere over the rainbow



This afternoon began with a nice meal with Dad and Stephanie at the Sofra restaurant near Bond Street before Sharon and I headed off for our real main course.........

We went to the London Palladium to watch Rufus Wainwright peform Judy Garland's famous Carnegie Hall set in it's entirety. The place was packed with celebrities and we saw Ian McKellen, Neil Tennant, Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French, Richard Wilson and many others.

Rufus was amazing, he has such a fantastic voice and despite missing a couple of notes put on one of the best shows I have ever seen. It was a wonderful evening and he was also joined onstage by his mum Kate McGarrigle, his sister Martha and Judy Garland's daughter Lorna Luft. Even better the whole thing was being recorded for a TV special and for DVD release as well, can't wait to see them.


This isn't a great photo as we weren't allowed to use flashes but from left to right it is:
