Title: Camille

27 08 07 - It took me a few years to be admitted to a Camille show
and it was standing room only for the guests and the larger audience
at the Spiglegarden on her closing night. Lit by a single spot 
Camille is every part the cabaret siren looking sultry and moody
in black. She opened with 'God is in the House' to enthusiastic 
applause but promise of slickness ground to a halt as her mike 
failed for the second number which is a shame. This interruption
almost broke the spell as the sound of the drinking public outside
began to intrude on the inside of the Spiegletent. However Camille
had numerous supporters in the audience and put on a great show of
songs by Kurt Weill, Brel, Bowie, Tom Waits and Nick Cave. Some of
the songs were dark, some were light but Camille imbued each 
rendition with her own unique interpretation, powerful voice and
gripping, expressive performance. When we left the Spiegletent the
Fringe was finally over and the seasons seemed to have moved 
forwards, as leaves blew about in the icy cold air.
