'Coming Home is a bewitching album...it might just be the best album she has ever released.' The Irish Independent
Born from a collection of personal poems and the remarkable album and book that followed, this acclaimed live production sees Cara skilfully interweave this 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.
She'll be accompanied by an extraordinary 5-piece 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.
'Memoir, poem, guidebook, diary. It is a work of intimacy, love, and affection, unguarded and authentic. It’s both blanket & magic carpet. It’s the tent of childhoods spent dreaming under a night sky in summer. It’s boundless.' Maria McManus, Poetry Ireland
Wedi’i ddatblygu o gasgliad o gerddi personol a’r albwm a’r llyfr hynod a ddilynodd, yn y cynhyrchiad byw clodwiw hwn mae Cara yn plethu’r deunydd newydd emosiynol hwn yn fedrus â detholiad wedi’i guradu’n ofalus o’i chlasuron poblogaidd. Y canlyniad yw tapestri sy’n cyfuno adrodd stori, cerddi a chân, yn cymylu’r llinellau rhyngddynt yn ddiymdrech ac yn cynnig cipolwg prin ac atgofus ar fyd Cara, lle mae’n rhannu atgofion a straeon personol a ysbrydolwyd gan fro ei mebyd, Co. Derry a’r bobl, y lleoedd, a’r arferion hynod sydd agosaf at ei chalon.
Gyda Cara, bydd band 5-darn anhygoel yn cael ei arwain gan Sam Lakeman ac yn cynnwys ei drefniadau sensitif, sy'n helpu i wneud hon y sioe fwyaf gafaelgar eto ganddi - lle mae atgofion ac emosiynau dwys yn cael eu datgloi i bawb sy'n ei gweld.
