Cara brings her stunning 'Coming Home' show to the BARNFIELD THEATRE, EXETER on Tuesday 25th March, 2025.
Cara's latest album "Coming Home" is a profound exploration of identity and emotion and has become a seminal work since its release in 2024. A stunning blend of song and spoken word, it is inspired by her deep personal connection to the land, culture, and people of her native County Derry. A lifelong quest to connect with story and emotion has led to this outstanding body of work. This acclaimed live production sees Cara interweave her highly emotive new material with a carefully curated selection of her beloved classics. With three UK/Irish 'Coming Home' tours already under her belt which included sold-out performances at The Grand Opera House, Belfast, The Guildhall, Derry, Kings Place, London, an album shortlisted for the NI Music Prize, a beautiful accompanying book, and countless deeply affected audiences — the response has been truly overwhelming.
Don't miss this stunning concert as Cara, along with her exceptional band, proves that music is not just an art form but a profound means of connection.

“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
