Cara Dillon Coming Home

Cara Dillon

The Haymarket
Sunday 30 March 2025
7.30pm
Tickets: £31.50 (includes £4 booking fee). 

Born from a collection of personal poems, and the album and book that followed, this live production sees Cara skilfully interweave her emotive material with a carefully curated selection of her beloved songs. The result is a tapestry that seamlessly blends storytelling, poetry, and music, effortlessly blurring the lines between them, and offering a rare and evocative glimpse into Cara's world, where she shares recollections and stories inspired by her native Co. Derry, and the remarkable people, places, and customs she holds closest to her heart.

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 sell-out appearances at the Grand Opera House, Belfast - Kings Place, London and The Guildhall in Derry, among many others.

Cara will be accompanied at The Haymarket by a special 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.
