CARA DILLON

the irish folk singer’s songs bounce along with a joy that shines through in her lark-sweet voice and warm accompaniment – lovely.

For this, her seventh album, the award-winning singer once again collaborates with long-time musical partner, producer and husband Sam Lakeman to offer a collection of songs featuring intimate songs that capture some of her most moving vocal performances to date. Building upon a career based on folk songs rooted in time and place, “Wanderer” sees Cara delve deeper into the tradition; the underlying theme being the movement of people, of emigration and the pursuit of love. It’s a collection that speaks to Cara’s fascination with songs of departure and the powerful desire to belong. if you like Heidi taLBOT, kate rusby or seth lakeman, this’ll be a treat.
