Camille Miller

@ The Marr's Bar, Worcester - 20/3/05

Camille Miller was new to me, but not any more!! Canadian songstress Camille took to the stage and immediately made an impact with her beautiful voice. Performing original and powerful songs, although too few for my money, she grabbed my attention from her opening bars with that voice. From sensitive and moody one second to powerhouse passion the next Camille certainly has something very special.

With her voice and acoustic guitar plus bass accompaniment from co-songwriter Nick Haggar this delightfully pretty and well turned out young lady was impressive, captivating and extremely watchable. Me, I'd like to have heard more but with a busy night of four different acts to cram into the time available I'll let it go this time. Camille's chosen musical genre is hard to pinpoint, suffice to say that there seemed to be something for almost everyone.

Her powerful vocals seemed to come effortlessly from nowhere, a gift further enhanced by great microphone technique. Again, I felt the set was far too short to be able to totally come to terms with her songs but certainly I wasn't disappointed with what I heard tonight. For me, Camille didn't really need the bass (no dis to Nick Haggar!) in the mix for this acoustic set tonight - Camille should've moved to centre-stage and simply took the whole of the spotlight herself - she's certainly good enough musically and without doubt she looks fantastic.

This short introduction was an enjoyable and entertaining sampler-set of this young lady's obvious talent. For now I'll just have to make do with her excellent CD, 'Cararvon Street' - until next time!!
