https://thebreathmusic.com/
The Breath are a remarkable duo known for their deeply emotional and cinematic sound. Fronted by the powerful voice of Ríoghnach Connolly, winner of the BBC Folk Singer of the Year award, The Breath weaves a spellbinding mix of Irish folk and ambient textures. Connolly’s vocals are raw and soulful, delivering both personal stories and broader reflections on cultural identity, grief, and hope. Alongside her is Stuart McCallum, a renowned guitarist whose background with The Cinematic Orchestra brings atmospheric layers and subtle, intricate riffs, creating a lush and expansive sound.

“raw, soulful, often mesmeric, richly textured and lushly constructed…versatile persuasive vocals” Mojo
“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 dot com
“folk roots but different horizons… the jaw-droppingly stunning, woozy voice of Ríoghnach Connolly” The Guardian
