On Friday 20 November, Irish singer and actress Camille O'Sullivan will return to Union Chapel, in North London with a brand new show that features the legendary Bowie/Lennon guitarist, Earl Slick as her special guest

The Art of Falling Apart follows comes hot on the heels of Camille's acclaimed sell-out shows at Soho Theatre Dean Street and Soho Theatre Walthamstow and playing to packed houses on her recent tour of Australia and New Zealand.

Raunchy, fragile and fearless, she will be joined by her band at the North London venue, to perform her singular take on songs of love, loss and light . Camille brings to the stage a heady cocktail of rock 'n roll and ballads, which mix the dark with the light, as she celebrates 'the art of falling apart' and all the madness and joy of her life Chameleon-like on stage, as life is unravelling , the World is in chaos, she's decided to embrace the madness and joy of it. With the soles of her boots falling off, torn tights, tangental talking, random dancing and hymnal singing, this courageous and singular singer gifts each song with a different character and its own story to tell. Expect joy and pure passion.

I am tremendously excited to come back to Union Chapel and I'm deeply honoured that Earl Slick will be joining us as our guest. I adore him. He is a gorgeous authentic person and his incredible emotional playing makes him a true one off. I cannot believe he answered the call to come do my show. Dreams still come true. As a little girl in a village in Cork, I heard his playing and Bowie's voice through my sister's bedroom wall - tears rolling down my face. It was transformative. I realised you can be anything - overwhelmed with joy, sadness and rock n roll - the spirit is free.”
