Cara Dillon - Duo

Cara Dillon, an extraordinary, multiple award-winning Irish folksinger, and acclaimed musician and producer Sam Lakeman, will captivate listeners once again with their exquisite and enthralling live performance. Every note and word sung with a passion and confidence earned through a life of experience singing traditional songs.



Throughout an enviable career which has seen them explore opportunities to tread many different paths – from releasing folk cross over albums on indie label Rough Trade; recording on Disney soundtracks to collaborations with orchestras and even leading dance DJs – Cara has continuously chosen to firmly plant herself within the landscape of her Irish cultural heritage and that’s something to celebrate.


Their enduring partnership has ensured they have remained at the very pinnacle of the folk genre for well over two decades and this performance will feature a selection of acoustic songs from previous releases and may also include material from her highly acclaimed 2024 release, “Coming Home”, her first in over six years. Within it Cara effortlessly blurs the lines between spoken word and song to stunning effect, exploring profoundly personal memories, her native Co. Derry and the people, places and customs she holds closes to her heart; revealing a newly found freedom to express herself within the tiniest of details and life’s larger mysteries.

Join Cara and Sam for an intimate evening full of exceptional music and the genuine warmth they bring to the stage.
