Fermanagh event to showcase folk music in Northern Ireland

4 November 2009 -

Acclaimed folk singer Cara Dillon will provide traditional music in Northern Ireland later this month, when she appears in Fermanagh.

The vocalist was born in Londonderry, also known as Derry, and has made her name performing traditional music in Northern Ireland's biggest cities and historic venues.

Her latest concert takes place this Thursday (November 5th) at the Ardhowen Theatre, where special guests including Gretchen Peters will be wowing attendees with renditions of some original hits and classic folk tunes.

The artist will be backed by an orchestra which is sure to dazzle the crowd, while her husband Sam Lakeman will be on hand to direct the performance, which is sure to include a number of tracks from Dillon's latest album Hill of Thieves.

A very different kind of music in Northern Ireland will be filling the Ardhowen Theatre on November 12th, when Jimmy Buckley and his band play a variety of country hits to a packed house.
