Cara Dillon
Thursday 25 February 2010
With support by Rosa Rebecka
Cara won the All Ireland Singing Trophy and went on to sing with Oige, De Dannan and Equation – where she met her husband and musical collaborator Sam Lakeman. Whether she’s singing her native songs of lost love and emigration, or their original compositions, you will be hard pressed to find a more emotive and captivating performer.
As torch bearers for both traditional and original song-writing, Cara and Sam squeeze new life into ancient material, whilst creating a distinctive musical identity of their own.
Cara Dillon is at the very top of her field and one has the feeling she’ll be there for a very long time.
“Quite possibly the world’s most beautiful female voice…”

Rosa Rebecka
Rosa Rebecka’s performances combine original songs with traditional Swedish music. Her influences include various folk singers, with the most noticeable inspiration coming from the early music of Joni Mitchell. She gently tells stories with songs described by NetRhythms as ‘intensely beautiful’, as well as getting her audiences to take part, clapping and stamping to the exhilarating rhythm of the Swedish polska.
