Ed Power's arts highlights of 2016

Our regular arts/ents writers select their personal highlights of the year

The three best gigs you attended:

Rufus Wainwright, National Concert Hall, Dublin ?— A dazzling two hours of baroque piano-pop from an underrated troubadour. Wainwright ignored his baffling new album — a ghastly suite of Shakespeare sonnets set to music that fans have agreed to pretend doesn’t exist — and instead delivered a winning greatest hits set.
