Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Breath - Live Music In Conwy
In 2021, we hosted a space for Kirk McElhinney and Michele Stodart. It was such a memorable evening. This year's event promises to be something just as wonderful. Same vibe, and same venue - something to warm those winter blues. Book early to avoid disappointment.
“Quietly, inexorably, The Breath have become one of the … most exciting folk acts… Only Stories… an acoustic recording that unfolds like a paper flower”
The Financial Times (5 Stars)
“raw, soulful, often mesmeric, richly textured and lushly constructed…versatile persuasive vocals” Mojo
“an affecting blend …. McCallum provides the grandeur and artifice and Connolly the intimacy and purity” Uncut
“The Breath rolls across the senses like clouds caress low hills – always moving, changing, evolving; and utterly fascinating” Folk Radio.com
“folk roots but different horizons… the jaw-droppingly stunning, woozy voice of Ríoghnach Connolly” The Guardian
The Breath is Manchester-based guitarist Stuart McCallum and singer/flautist Ríoghnach Connolly. They met on the city’s gig circuit in the late noughties. An unlikely pairing though it was, he an acclaimed guitar whiz, ex long-time member of The Cinematic Orchestra and a softly spoken Manchester urbanite, she a folk singer with a larger-than-life personality and a powerful voice to match. Their connection was immediate; they formed The Breath in 2016, a singer-songwriter duo to present their contemporary take on alt-folk.
