Camille O’Sullivan will be recording a special song for our virtual Burns Supper.

She is no stranger to The Spiegeltent, nor is she a stranger to the Big Burns Supper – having played three times in the last decade.  We thought it would be pretty rude not to invite our favourite lassie to the party.

Born in London of a French mother and Irish father, Camille moved to Cork, Ireland when she was a child. Previously an award-winning architect and portrait painter Irish/French Camille O’Sullivan is a singer/actress who is known for her interpretations of the songs of Nick Cave, Brel, Waits, Bowie, Radiohead and more. The Daily Telegraph recently voted her one of the top 25 performances ever on Later with Jools.

“Ravishing, a superb performer and great singer… the star is her singing voice, a deep sultry instrument that might have been created to express desolate love” The Guardian

Chameleon-like on stage, as much storyteller as singer each song is a different character to inhabit with its story to tell, Dark, light fierce, amusing and mesmerizing, Camille transforms each song into “an intense theatrical experience, drawing her audience into a world illuminated by the dark and the light”. The show has also been described as “an emotional rollercoaster”.
