    Just got Cara Dillons Redcastle sessions on DVD.I have to say she is a cut above the rest when it comes to singing and arrangements.Her version of P for Paddy is class and at her live gigs John OGrady does a brilliant job on pipes.
    The only thing I was'nt too happy with on the DVD was that her sister Mary is involved in one song and could'nt be heard singing the chorus.Mary and her band Deanta were also fantastic and is sorely missed.
    I am just curious to see if there are many Cara Dillon Fans out there????

    Hey Rithim. Yep I do like some of her stuff alright, and I only saw some because I haven't heard very much. I do have a recording of her on an RTE show called Other Voices and I was very impressed. Especially with her rendition of There Were Roses...

    Yep i got to see Cara Dillon few years ago at a venue in waterford that i cant think of the name of right now, she had her band with her, very very good and a joy to listen to, also was quite humble for all her talent which i think is a lovely attribute, definately a fan of what she had then, dont know what shes got out now.
    Not alot on youtube either

    Yeah, she really is a great singer. Have you heard this song she does with Paul Brady: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrxD9mxd6ug

    It's really, really good. Two of the best Irish singers around at the moment,

    I have often heard about her contribution to Tubular Bells III.This is my first time to hear it and it sounds class but still you have to hear her Trad songs to really appreciate the Band.Again look at Utube and call up P for Paddy.
    Thanks everyone for adding to this thread.
