Camille O'Sullivan: Loveletter

Camille O’Sullivan brings her show Loveletter to the small theatre space at Cleere’s Bar & Theatre on Saturday, 26 September 2026. The Irish French singer and actor, known for her theatrical, full-throttle interpretations of other people’s songs, built this set as a tribute to musicians who have died in recent years, among them Shane MacGowan, Sinéad O’Connor and David Bowie. She performs with her longtime musical collaborator Feargal Murray on piano.

What to expect

Loveletter is a seated show in Cleere’s small theatre at the rear of the bar, a room that holds around 100 people and suits O’Sullivan’s intense, close-up performance style better than a larger stage would. Rather than a straight tribute set, the show is framed as a personal reckoning with grief and loss, built around songs by musicians whose deaths affected her, delivered with the theatrical intensity she has brought to her Edinburgh Fringe and Dublin Theatre Festival runs over the years. Feargal Murray’s piano and arrangements anchor the set throughout. Expect moments of real sadness alongside the wit and playfulness that usually run through her live shows; this reads less as a sombre tribute concert and more as a performer working through loss in front of an audience.

Getting there

Cleere’s is at 28 Parliament Street, in the middle of Kilkenny’s medieval mile, within easy walking distance of the train and bus stations, both roughly 10 to 15 minutes away on foot. The theatre space is small and fully seated, so arrive in good time, as latecomers may not be admitted once the show starts.

While you’re in Kilkenny

Parliament Street sits between Kilkenny Castle and St Canice’s Cathedral, so there is a full afternoon of the medieval mile to explore before the show. There is more to see in Kilkenny and across Co. Kilkenny.
