Live At Cooper Hall is a collection of 16 songs compiled from two stunning live
concert performances by award-winning Irish folk singer Cara Dillon, accompanied
by Sam Lakeman on Steinway grand piano and guitar. It was recorded without
distraction not even an audience during the first Coronavirus lockdown in July
2020 at Cooper Hall in Somerset by Grammy winning recording engineer Dom Monks
and broadcast worldwide to fans online. The extraordinary circumstances of the
concert only add to the reflective and intimate nature of the performance Cara
hearing the songs shes sung a thousand times through new ears and understanding,
for what felt like the very first time, the heartbreak and longing for home so
evident in the lyrics. This album exquisitely captures a special shared moment
between two of folk musics finest performers in a career-spanning acoustic set,
and features two previously unreleased songs.
