Rufus Wainwright has unveiled the lineup for his upcoming Christmas show at the Royal Albert Hall.

Titled 'A Not So Silent Night' featuring Kate McGarrigle, Rufus and Martha Wainwright, the December 9 performance will also star Boy George, Dawn French, Guy Garvey, Jennifer Saunders, Teddy Thompson, Ed Harcourt, Shlomo, Janis Kelly and Jenni Muldaur.

Wainwright said: "It is an off-the-cuff evening of friends and family kind of popping on and off stage as if the stage was our living room."

The show is the first UK version of the Wainwright/McGarrigle Carnegie Hall dates held every two years in the US.

The Kate McGarrigle Fund is a non-profit body dedicated to cancer care and research.
