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 Óige 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' (though there do not appear to be any recordings).
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is a duet with the awesome John Smith, a stunning arrangement of a Carter Family song 'Storms On The Ocean'.
John plays in an alternate tuning on the DVD (DADGAD, I think!) but I have attempted this in standard tuning.
To play in the same key as Cara and John, slip your capo on at the 2nd fret.
The chord names are relative to capo, so play D as xx0232, but it’s actually an E!
