Lady in Red
Returns to Scotland

Camille O'Sullivan is a phenomenon. An Irish/French singer, performing in English, French and Flemish, her stunning voice and passionate, dramatic performances have enthralled audiences from Dublin to Melbourne.

Camille Sings Brel was one of the must-sees of Edinburgh Fringe 2004, and it is returning to Scotland for a short run in April 2005.

Camille Sings Brel celebrates the music of French troubadour Jacques Brel, whose songs include Jackie, Amsterdam, Marieke, Seasons in the Sun and Ne Me Quitte Pas. Each song has its own character, linked by Brel's comic and tragic view of life through themes of love, sex and death. With a passion for storytelling, Camille transforms herself into many characters throughout the performance, including a rollicking drunk, a lost child and a forlorn prostitute.

Her 4-piece band includes leading Scottish musicians John Rae on drums and Mario Caribe on double bass.

Camille has just finished filming the new Stephen Frears' film Mrs Henderson Presents with Dame Judi Dench, Bob Hoskins and Will Young. She is featured as a showgirl in a part which she landed after being spotted (by Trainspotting's Euan Bremner) at the Edinburgh Fringe. She has also performed with Damien Rice and Shane McGowan.

She will be returning to The Famous Spiegeltent with a new show for the Edinburgh Fringe 2005, after a season in Brighton in May.


Camille's interpretive power of song is a force to be reckoned with… Irish Times
