The Breath
Ríoghnach Connolly and Stuart McCallum are the creative heart of The Breath . And for them, it’s all about the song.
Connolly writes the only way she knows how; a stream of poetic consciousness giving rise to honest, personal, heartfelt songs as likely to touch on childhood summers and first love as cultural dislocation, post-colonial injustices and grief. But it’s her deeply soulful, utterly engaging, stop-you-in-your-tracks voice – whether delicate and hushed or powerful and gutsy – coupled with Stuart’s understated brilliance and their exquisitely crafted songs, that give The Breath such emotional depth.
Their most recent release ‘Land Of My Other’, the third album by The Breath, is a place of memories and melodies, lyricism and lore. A place of sunlight, faerie-tales and rowan trees; of grief, incarceration and thunder in darkness. A place where ancestral trauma and colonial injustice meet blazing pride, romantic self-rule and hands held in a circle in the sea.

Liz Corney
Liz Corney is a musician and singer-songwriter from the North East of England. She is a founding member of alt-pop band The Cornshed Sisters, with whom she has released two albums on Memphis Industries, while at the same time touring extensively playing keys for critically acclaimed label-mates Field Music.
Liz will be performing songs from her forthcoming solo project that explores themes of growing older, coming to terms with change and dealing with the challenges of communication in relationships.
This new record, at once personal and universal - and deeply positive and uplifting - continues to parlay the timeless pop sensibilities heard in some of her early influences; Motown, Queen, ABBA and The Carpenters, compelling the listener to move, to feel good, to be open to finding the beauty in whatever situation they find themselves in, or even to find the courage to change it.
