From Derry, in the north of Ireland, Cara has this year released a single, DVD and is soon to release her fourth album, ‘Hill of Thieves’ (pictured). Cara, one of Ireland’s greatest ambassadors for Irish music to the world stage, comes from a family steeped in traditional Irish music, and is sister to Mary Dillon of Donegal-Derry band, Déanta. Cara’s latest album, as she has described, is “back to her roots”. Her third album, “After the Morning” featuring Paul Brady comprised of mostly new songs, written in the traditional vein, such as “Bold Jamie”. More information on Cara Dillon’s “Hill of Thieves” will be available soon at her official website. Expect more powerful vocals and songs of emigration from one of the world’s finest singers.

    I heard the only one song recently on a radio program (BBC Radio Scotland I think I was tuned into at the time). I will be buying this for sure. She has the voice of an angel.

    It might have been ‘Fowlis and Folk’ with Julie Fowlis. It’s a stunning album! You can buy it at her tours before the official release in January, and if you pop over to the Cara Dillon Broken Bridges forum I’m sure someone would grab one at a concert for you! =)
