Taunton Literary Festival - Cara Dillon - Coming Home Book Talk

CARA DILLON: COMING HOME BOOK TALK
Taunton Literary Festival 2024
In the world of folk music, few shine as brightly as celebrated Irish singer Cara Dillon, renowned for her transcendent voice and emotional performances. This special event will see Cara discuss her debut book, Coming Home. Published in March 2024, it is a deeply personal narrative that sees her reflecting on her remarkable family and deep connection to the people, culture and land of her native Co Derry in the North of Ireland, alongside captivating insights into her place in the world and her journey – both as an artist and a mother. Evolving from a collection of original poems which form the basis of her acclaimed new album (her first in over six years) in which she presents the pieces in a stunning blend of spoken word and song. In addition to the interview, Cara will perform 3 or 4 pieces accompanied by her husband on guitar.

With both the book and album receiving five-star reviews, and completing three sell-out UK and Irish tours totalling over 45 dates, not to mention being a featured guest on Woman’s Hour, the impact of Cara’s latest work is undeniable.

Certainly not one to miss.

Will include audience Q&A and book signing.
