The Breath is guitarist Stuart McCallum (The Cinematic Orchestra), and Irish singer Ríoghnach Connolly. They have a unique take on alt-folk journeys from lush, beguiling storytelling, to uplifting anthems.

At it’s heart is Ríoghnach’s deeply soulful, utterly engaging, stop-you-in-your-tracks voice, alongside Stuart’s under-stated brilliance, and their exquisitely crafted, personal songs. Yet it’s the emotional depth of the songs, and the remarkable connection the duo share on-stage that make The Breath’s live performance so compelling.

Their brand-new album, ‘Let the Cards Fall’ is out on Real World on the 14 September 2018.

“Raw, soulful, often mesmeric, richly textured and lushly constructed…versatile persuasive vocals.”

“The Breath rolls across the senses like clouds caress low hills always moving, changing, evolving; and utterly fascinating.”
