Thurs April 16th LONDON. Join Cara Dillon, a towering figure in Irish music, as she brings her Award-Winning show to CADOGAN HALL this April. With over 55 sold-out performances of 'Coming Home' to date, Cara will be sharing her stunning tapestry of storytelling, poetry and song once more in her biggest London show in over ten years.
Following the release of her NI Music Prize Nominated album and the publication of her book of the same name in March 2024, which featured her first new material in over six years, Cara toured this new production throughout 2023, 2024, and 2025. The response has been nothing short of extraordinary, with landmark sold-out performances at the Grand Opera House and Ulster Hall in Belfast, the Guildhall in Derry and the Union Chapel, London among many more.
Born from a collection of poems, songs, and the remarkable album and book that followed, this celebrated live show sees Cara skilfully interweaving her emotive new work with a carefully curated selection of her most beloved classics like "The Parting Glass" and "Black Is The Colour". The result is a moving tapestry of storytelling, poetry, and song, a seamless blend that offers an evocative glimpse into Cara’s world as she brings to life memories and stories inspired by her native Co. Derry and the people, places, and traditions she holds closest to her heart.
Few voices linger in the soul like Cara’s, she has earned global acclaim and major awards, including four BBC Folk Awards and the Meteor Award for Best Irish Female.
For nearly 30 years, her voice, deceptively delicate yet profoundly powerful, has bridged tradition and innovation. She’ll be joined by an extraordinary band led by her husband and long-time collaborator Sam Lakeman, whose sensitive arrangements help shape what is among her most compelling live shows to date—one that unlocks profound memories and emotions in all who experience it.
