Details
The Breath - acclaimed guitar whiz Stuart McCallum, and singer/flautist Rioghnach Connolly, a folk singer with a larger than life personality and a powerful voice to match - present their contemporary take on alt-folk. For them, it's all about the song. Their exquisitely crafted, honest, personal, heartfelt songs are as likely to touch on childhood summers and first love as cultural dislocation, post-colonial injustices and grief. But it's Rioghnach's impassioned delivery and extraordinary stop-you-in-your-tracks voice, coupled with Stuart's understated brilliance that is so engaging.
References to Celtic history and cultural loss are woven into a bewitching collection of songs that span beguiling ballads and punch-the-air anthems. Stripped bare, Stuart and Rioghnach's extraordinary connection shines through.
Expect songs that tell stories in ways that soothe, stir, exalt and touch emotional chords that will bring tears of lamenting joy.
