When I decided to purchase this DVD, I saw another reviewer had mentioned the synchronisation issues but as that was in Nov. 2009 and no other mentions, I thought maybe that was a one off. Unfortunately there was the same issue on the DVD I received in Nov. 2011 and it did really spoil the viewing, so much so that I have returned the DVD and received a refund from Amazon.

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without the annual Mcgarrigle and Wainwright family concert, and last years spectacular filmed at New York's Knitting Factory is no exception. Yes it's indulgent, yes it's over the top, yes it's a bun fight for the mic, but yes it's BRILLIANT and I love it! I'm a massive fan of everything Rufus and his duet with Justin Bond, singing "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" is simply fab, but the biggest highlight was his performance of "Minuit Chretien". Simply magical! Other note worth performances were from Sloan Wainwright (she's Loudon Wainwright III sister and she has a sensational voice!)

Just got this today, it's a very enjoyable listen but is completely spoiled by appalling synchronisation between the audio and video tracks. Frankly its all over the place, being reasonably in sync at times and about 2 seconds out of sync at others. At times it changes within the same song, coinciding with a change in the camera shot!!
I think my copy will be going back.
Has anyone else had the same problem?

Not for Me
This show was not for me, not my type of music, I paid around £11 and only watched around 50% before switching the DVD off. Read more

I love this DVD! I suppose I was expecting a remake of the McGarrigle Christmas Hour CD, but it contains much new material and new arrangements. Read more
