“Coming Home is a bewitching album…it might just be the best album she has ever released.” - The Irish Independent
“Just divine and affecting” - Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2
“Memoir, poem, guidebook, diary. It is a work of intimacy, love, and affection, unguarded and authentic. It’s the tent of childhoods spent dreaming under a night sky in summer. It’s boundless.” - Maria McManus, Director of Poetry Ireland
Born from a collection of personal poems and the remarkable album and book that followed, this acclaimed live production sees Cara interweave this highly emotive new material with a carefully curated selection of her beloved classics. The result is a tapestry that seamlessly blends storytelling, poetry, and song, effortlessly blurring the lines between them and offering a rare and evocative glimpse into Cara’s world, where she shares personal memories and stories inspired by her native Co. Derry and the remarkable people, places, and customs she holds closest to her heart.
Following the official release of the album and the publication of her book of the same name in March 2024, Cara will be joined by her band and will bring this seminal show to life once again.
