Biography

Rioghnach Connolly grew up surrounded by a rich musical heritage. It was there, and at the Armagh Pipers’ Club in Arma-gh City, in the north-east of Ireland, that she developed her taste and talent for singing and playing the flute. Since then, she has performed all over the world.

Far from being content with a single musical style, but steeped in traditional Irish influences, she happily draws on folk, soul, hip-hop, jazz and blues to create a unique and wonderfully free sound.

Ríoghnach Connolly was nominated for Best Folk Singer at the RTÉ Folk Awards and won Folk Singer Of The Year in 2019 at the BBC R2 Folk Awards, where the duo were also nominated for Best Group.

In the press

‘You can't help but feel the exceptional scope and universal appeal of The Breath's compositions. A gripping album that will leave you breathless’.

IndieMusic

‘With one of the most moving lamentos on the market today, the vocalist deploys her quiet virtuosity, served by a tender and respectful accompaniment.’

Les Inrocks

‘The Breath one of the most promising indie bands of the decade’.

IndieMusic

‘The Celtic influences act like second nature, the spectre of Peter Gabriel, the owner of the venue, clearly watches over the sessions, and the feminist and humanist themes unfold without a second thought the comfort of their good conscience’.

Les Inrocks
