Please note: Info provided by the Event Organiser

Cara Dillon will be bringing her Coming Home show to life once again. Born from a collection of personal poems and the remarkable album and book that followed, this live production sees Cara skilfully interweave this emotive new material with a carefully curated selection of her beloved songs. The result is a tapestry that seamlessly blends storytelling, poetry, and music, effortlessly blurring the lines between them, and offering a rare and evocative glimpse into Cara's world, where she shares recollections and stories inspired by her native Co. Derry, and the remarkable people, places, and customs she holds closest to her heart. She'll be accompanied by an extraordinary band led by Sam Lakeman, and featuring his sensitive arrangements, which help to make this her most compelling live show yet – in which profound memories and emotions are unlocked in all who see it.

Cara Dillon

Cara Dillon has one of those rare talents you only come across a handful times in your life. Her crystalline, angelic voice has the ability to reach inside the soul of a song with profound sweetness, poignancy and depth. A former member of the folk group Equation, who also sang with De Danaan, this young Irish singer from Dungiven, County Derry, sings with clarity, beauty and style. Winner of 2010's BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards for Best Album ('Hill of Thieves') and winner of 2010's Spiral Awards for Best Female Singer and Best Traditional Song ('Jimmy Mó Mhile Stór'). 'Quite possibly the world's most beautiful female voice...' (Q Magazine).
