After a Grammy nomination, and two critically acclaimed albums, Tift Merritt escaped to Paris, rented a flat with an old piano, and came home with her best and most personal songs to date. 'Another Country' comes out in the UK April 14th and already sits near the top of

One of the most original and stunning singers of traditional music. Cara won the All Ireland Singing Trophy at the age of 14 and went on to sing with Oige, De Dannan and Equation – where she met 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.

‘Quite possibly the world’s most beautiful female voice…’

Cara Dillon is, without exaggeration, amongst the very finest singers to be heard today’ Froots Magazine
