The support was an enjoyable duo called Winter Mountain.
Cara's band featured partner Sam Lakeman on guitar and keyboards, a second acoustic guitarist and a fiddle player called Emma Sweeney.
She has a great voice, powerful but velvety, does modern and more traditional folky sort of songs and the band were good too. I particularly liked Emma's sound, she had a staccato sort of bowing motion allied to a traditional fiddle style which was slightly different and also engaging. Both guitarists were good albeit they maybe just overshadowed Cara's voice. It may have been that we were so close to the stage that the sound was coming more live than through the mix.
The material was new to me but there was one stand out song which I can't track down on her albums. It's tagline was 'You left me nowhere to go'. I need that track.
All in all a good gig - I would welcome the chance to see her in a better venue than the Nottingham Glee Club and I expect she will be filling better venues in time to come.
