A magical blend of alt-folk and musical storytelling, with the odd jazz undertone, The Breath is Manchester-based guitarist Stuart McCallum (ex The Cinematic Orchestra) and previous BBC R2 Folk Singer of the Year winner, singer/flautist Ríoghnach Connolly.Exquisitely crafted, personal, heartfelt songs delivered by Ríoghnach’s stop-you-in-your-tracks voice, coupled with Stuart’s understated brilliance, have seen The Breath record 3 albums for Peter Gabriel’s Real World label. An amazingly full, yet intimate, sound live – simply one of the best bands we’ve seen.
‘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... jaw-droppingly stunning.’
