I love the sound of Ríoghnach Connolly’s voice very much, so I am pleased to announce her band The Breath is coming to Totnes. They’ve released three albums on Peter Gabriel’s Real World label.
The Guardian swooned over them too, toasting ‘the jaw-droppingly stunning, woozy voice of Ríoghnach Connolly’.

Like many, I first heard her voice in Honeyfeet back when Alabaster DePlume was in the band. I remember them feeding me sloe gin from a bottle in a brown paper bag backstage at a festival. Then she sauntered on to the stage and belched down the microphone, only to sing a beautiful song about a boat immediately afterward.
