About this Event
Cara Dillon: Coming Home
Following the official release of the album and the publication of her book of the same name in March 2024, Cara will be bringing her acclaimed Coming Home show to life once again.
'Just divine and affecting' Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2
The Autumn of 2023 and Spring of 2024 marked a significant milestone in Cara's career as she unveiled Coming Home to rapt audiences, a show featuring her first new material in over six years. The response was nothing short of overwhelming, including a sell-out appearance at the Grand Opera House, Belfast.
'Coming Home is a bewitching album...it might just be the best album she has ever released.' The Irish Independent
'Memoir, poem, guidebook, diary. It is a work of intimacy, love, and affection, unguarded and authentic. It’s both blanket & magic carpet. It’s the tent of childhoods spent dreaming under a night sky in summer. It’s boundless.' Maria McManus, Poetry Ireland
She'll be accompanied by an extraordinary 5-piece 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.
'In Coming Home, life's larger mysteries are contemplated with an easy intimacy – a sense of self, identity, community and connection all rooted deep and underscored by the constant ache of home.' Gail Bell, The Irish News
