About

Folk duo The Breath are the unmistakable voice of Irish singer Ríoghnach Connolly of Honeyfeet and Lí Ban, and the mesmerising acoustic guitarist Stuart McCallum of The Cinematic Orchestra.

Since their formation in 2016, the duo have released a collection of exceptional albums on Peter Gabriel's Real World Records. For The Breath, it's all about the song. Connolly is a born storyteller, their mesmerising world of exquisitely crafted, honest, personal, heartfelt songs is as likely to touch on childhood summers and first love as cultural dislocation, post-colonial injustices, and grief.

Ríoghnach's impassioned delivery and extraordinary stop-you-in-your-tracks voice backed by Stuart's stunning chordal inversions and motorik, assured rhythm playing, make for a captivating and fully immersive live experience. They transmit songs that tell stories in ways that soothe, stir, exalt, and touch emotional chords that will bring tears of lamenting joy to your eyes.

This is the band's debut show in the city of Bath, and they have been specifically chosen as the artists to close the 2027 Bath Fringe Festival. Pick up your ticket while you can to avoid missing out on this formidable duo's Bath debut.
