Camille is one of Ireland’s most exciting performers, who enjoys a formidable international reputation for her dramatic interpretations of the narrative songs of Nick Cave, Brel, Waits, Bowie, Radiohead and more, takes on our suddenly crazily-changing world. Framing this question through the arresting, final songs of Bowie and Leonard Cohen, and those of other crucial writers such as PJ Harvey and Nick Cave, Camille brings her rare gift for storytelling together with her fierce and mesmerizing voice to give you an unforgettable night of madness, beauty, darkness and love.

She has won many awards over the years. In 2015, she won the prestigious Helpmann Award for her Sydney Festival shows and a ‘Best Music’ Argus Award at The Brighton Festival. She has previously won best music awards at Dublin and Melbourne Festivals and a Spirit of the Fringe at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The only artist to have ever performed at both the International and the Fringe festivals in the same year, she won the Herald Angel Award for her tour de force, solo performance in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Rape of Lucrece, which she also created original music for with Feargal Murray. She was named Irish Tatler’s Woman of the Year in Music and performed the songs of Radiohead with a 40-piece orchestra at the 2015 Wilderness Festival to much acclaim. Other acting roles include the film Mrs Henderson Presents alongside Judi Dench and Will Young, the RTE TV series Rebellion as Countess Mackievicz and a scene stealing performance on BBC Two’s Later… With Jools Holland (which lead her to support him at Royal Albert Hall). Camille was also chosen by Yoko One to perform John Lennon’s Double Fantasy alongside Patti Smith and Siouxsie Sioux at Meltdown 2014.

Camille has performed to audiences at London’s O2, Sydney Opera House and Royal Festival Hall. She returned again to London’s Iconic Roundhouse Theatre in January 2016 performing her show to a sold-out crowd. In 2016, Camille had a sellout residency in New York where The Independent UK described her as ‘Camille takes New York by storm – The eccentric, dramatic singer people can’t stop talking about’.
