8:00pm, as Cara, Sam and Seth entered the hall, the audience greeted them with a round of hearty hand-clapping. Sam Lakeman started to play the familiar piano introduction. - 'The Maid of Culmore' - harmonized perfectly. Sam and Seth Lakeman are the players of consummate skill. They play their instruments brilliantly and expressively, and also accompany her delicate voice very harmoniously. - Falling Like a Star - their self-penned new song. Her singing of this lovely melody is superb, and the solo piano accompaniment is very beautiful. - Blue Mountain River - re-arranged for the stage. ‘la la la la, la la la la‘ by Cara, a delightfully easy singalong part is added. - The Winding River Roe - traditional song about Dungiven. Dungiven, where Cara was raised, is steeped in history and tales. This song is also based on these, and has a lovely melody. By the way, when she won the All Ireland Traditional Singing Trophy at 14, she sang the song called "The Banks of the Roe". - Spencer the Rover - traditional song arranged by John Martyn. Seth started punching out a delightfull rhythm on his guitar, Cara then thanked everyone and announced their final piece. They performed with a real passion, flair for music and a genuine respect for the traditional heritage, and the results were absolutely stunning. |
