The Roundhouse to Open 2016 Music Programme with Camille O'Sullivan

The Roundhouse opens its 2016 Music Programme with a brand new series of intimate performances staged in the round. Utilising its legendary Main Space in a rarely seen fully seated concert set-up and with a limited number of tickets available, In the Round will be a unique opportunity to see some of the world's leading artists perform up close within the venue's iconic architecture.

As part of the series, Irish-French musician, singer actress and chanteuse Camille O'Sullivan

presents a very special show performing a 'best of' selection of her favourite songs alongside new material.

Whether singing a Jacques Brel lullaby, or dramatically interpreting the songs of Tom Waits or Nick Cave, Camille O'Sullivan makes every song her own. She has stunned audiences around the world with her extraordinary voice, expressive narration and emotional power. Dark, fierce, amusing and mesmerizing, the chanteuse is as much a storyteller as a singer or actress transforming each song into an intense theatrical experience. Previously an award winning architect and original star of the Olivier Award-winning circus troupe, La Clique, O' Sullivan has starred in the Edinburgh International Festival many times and won a prestigious Herald Angel Award for her tour de force, solo performance in the Royal Shakespeare Company's Rape of Lucrece. She was chosen by Yoko Ono to perform Double Fantasy Live at Meltdown in 2013, of which her performance was heralded as "the real showstopper" by Mojo Magazine. In 2012, O' Sullivan released her album, Changeling, to rave reviews. A collection of unique interpretations by the likes of Radiohead, Bowie and Arcade Fire alongside three originals and one penned by Snow patrol's Gary Lightbody who cites Camille as "one of the most original female voices of the last ten years."

Camille O'Sullivan appears at the Roundhouse on January 31st 2016. Support to be announced
