Rufus & Martha Wainwright and their mother Kate McGarrigle are set to bring their seasonal Christmas show to London's Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday, December 9.

A Not So Silent Night has been described by the trio as "an off-the-cuff evening of friends and family kind of popping on and off stage as if the stage was our living room". A series of special guest appearances will be announced later this summer.

Tickets for the event go on sale via www.artistticket.com on Friday (May 1).
