Happened on this ensemble by a lucky accident. I went to a charity event (Firefly) in Doncaster where Ruffanti played an outstanding set about halfway through the evening.  What can I say?  It was a delightful surprise to hear such a first class group of musicians and I was disappointed that they were not on stage longer.  The excellent vocals were well supported by perfectly pitched musicianship.  The lively rythms in a couple of the pieces had me wishing I could get up out of my seat and dance.  The take on Tainted Love and Get It On were such a surprise - now Marc Almond is no longer the person who springs to mind when I hear Tainted Love, such was Jayne's subtle but deliberate phrasing of this song.  

I would recommend that you go see this ensemble when they are next at a venue near you. An excellent entertainment is on the cards for you. [less]
