Multiple award-winning Irish folk singer Cara Dillon and acclaimed musician and producer Sam Lakeman perform an intimate evening full of exceptional music.

They will feature songs from previous albums and material from Coming Home released in 2024, her first in over six years. Cara effortlessly blurs the lines between spoken word and song exploring personal memories, her native Co. Derry and the people, places and customs she holds closest to her heart.
