Cara Dillon
Irish Cultural Centre, W6 9DT , [Venue Details]Few singers are as celebrated and revered as Cara Dillon. For three decades, the Co. Derry-born singer has remained a beacon of traditional Irish song, blending extraordinary vocal talent with a deep commitment to her cultural roots.
Dillon’s influence on the folk genre is unparalleled, and her accolades—too numerous to list in full—reflect her enduring appeal across generations and borders.
Alongside her husband and long-time collaborator, Sam Lakeman, Dillon has successfully steered an eclectic musical path, defying typical pigeonholes. Their enduring partnership has ensured they have remained at the very pinnacle of the folk genre for well over two decades. Fans can expect a rich, acoustic set drawn from Dillon’s extensive discography, including their classic renditions of Black Is The Colour and The Parting Glass, alongside material from her seminal 2024 release, Coming Home—her first album in over six years.
This new offering marks a significant chapter in Dillon’s career. Coming Home is a profound exploration of identity and emotion, a love letter to her native Co. Derry. Effortlessly blending spoken word and song to stunning effect, Dillon reflects on the people, landscapes, and traditions that have shaped her life and art. It is a poignant return to the heart of her heritage, delivered with the emotional depth and technical brilliance that have long defined her work.
