Cara.

It’s been ages since I posted anything from one of my favourite singers, Cara Dillon, but tonight I discovered a video on YouTube of her singing Craigie Hill live with the Ulster Orchestra. It was a line from this song which partly inspired the writing of my novella, The Gift Horse (‘…and the bonny birds were singing way down by Dougan’s shore.’)

And I might just mention that Cara was a girlfriend of mine back in the mid-nineties. She never did find out.
