AAF: Camille O'Sullivan Cave

IRELAND / WALES

Irish-French powerhouse singer Camille O’Sullivan reinvents the songs of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds through her unmistakable wit, style and theatricality.

A favourite of Yoko Ono, Jools Holland and Auckland concertgoers, Camille O'Sullivan has seduced audiences around the world with her sultry, spellbinding performances of statement-making music by Radiohead, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, David Bowie and more.

This luminous new show is devoted entirely to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – both the iconic songs and the band’s intense, macabre sense of rock poetry – as reinvented by O’Sullivan.

Capturing the essence of an artist of many guises – at once violent, beautiful, logical, crazy, devout, troubled and religious – Camille O'Sullivan 'Cave' is a passionate, unique interpretation of brilliant music. Famous for her rendition of ‘The Ship Song’, there’s no better performer to take us on the journey than Camille. A scintillating concert fit for the epic Civic stage.

“She treats every song as an intense emotional journey… hypnotic… such an outpouring of passion you can't resist being drawn into her web.” — The Independent

“When [Camille] sings it’s as though her breath is soaked in paraffin; one spark, and the whole room would ignite.” — Daily Telegraph
