I'm a huge fan a Camille O'Sullivan. Sadly, for some reason, she always seems to be performing near me when I'm DJing somewhere. This Friday night she will be at the Island Arts Centre in Lisburn.
The Scotsman called her 'a cross between Sally Bowles, Patti Smith and PJ Harvey'. I'd go along with that! The Irish/French vocalist specialises in unique readings of the music of such iconic figures as Nina Simone, Tom Waits, David Bowie, Jacques Brel and Nick Cave. Her stage presence is cinematic and vampish, like a classic femme fatale from the silver screen mixed with the physical drama of the characters in each song. She becomes every song, every character, every line. If you're anywhere near Lisburn on Friday, do not miss her!
Here's something to expect - Camille's take on Nina Simone's 'Devil's Workshop'.
