About
Cara Dillon (born 21 July 1975 in Dungiven, County Derry, Northern Ireland) is an Irish folk singer. In 2001, she launched her career as a solo artist in the UK with the eponymous Cara Dillon album. Prior to this, Dillon had been a member of the folk groups Oige and Equation. She and Sam Lakeman (whom she married in 2002) left Equation and signed to Blanco y Negro records going under the name ‘Polar Star’. Dillon released her eponymous first solo album in 2001, a mixture of traditional songs with two original compositions. This album garnered the best newcomer award and the best song for ‘Black is the Colour’ at the 2002 Radio 2 folk awards. The follow up ‘Sweet Liberty’ was released in 2003 with her third album ‘After The Morning’ following in 2006.
