My days revolve around learning and perfecting new songs. I am insatiable in devouring traditional folk songs, mostly Irish but also from farther afield. When I sing, I get lost in the music, presenting the piece before me as a being unto itself, something that I hope touches people and brings them into the song's world, whisking them away for the duration of the piece. My passion and love for this artform is evident each time I sing.

Ciara Carruthers' Reviews

5 out of 5

We had Ciara sing for our Irish do, and she did a collection of very passionate and beautiful traditional songs. She was easy to book with and was accommodating. We will certainly book her again.

Ciara sang a number of Irish songs in honour of the passing of our dear father, and she really did the service and the songs justice. We would recommend her singing.
