"...if you’re looking for something that’s not pre-packaged, plastic, hard-edged and low-taste, try Monsieur Camembert, an outfit with an unashamedly soft heart. Timeless fun…" Sydney Morning Herald, Oct. 1999

"… the love for the music and cultures that Monsieur Camembert draw from, help the band to immerse the audience in an extraordinary cultural experience..."
(Jazzchord Magazine, Oct/Nov 1999)

"Australia’s foremost exponents of music from the Jewish / East European / Gypsy diaspora. When listening to Monsieur Camembert there is one main pre-requisite…you must have a sense of humour and fun!"
