Is iad The Breath Stuart McCallum, whiz giotár clúiteach agus iar-bhall de The Cinematic Orchestra, agus Ríoghnach Connolly, amhránaí tíre a bhfuil go leor gradam bainte amach aige. Bhuail Stuart go bog agus Ríoghnach a bhí níos mó ná an saol le chéile ar chuaird gigeanna Mhanchain sna nóchaidí déanacha agus b’in an nasc láithreach. Bhunaigh siad The Breath in 2016, duo amhránaí is cumadóir chun a léargas comhaimseartha ar alt-folk a chur i láthair.
The Breath is Stuart McCallum, acclaimed guitar whiz and ex-member of The Cinematic Orchestra, and Ríoghnach Connolly, multi award-winning folk singer. Softly-spoken Stuart and larger-than-life Ríoghnach met on Manchester’s gig circuit in the late noughties and their connection was immediate. They formed The Breath in 2016, a singer-songwriter duo to present their contemporary take on alt-folk.
Maidir leo, is faoin amhrán atá sé ar fad. Is scéalaí é Connolly agus is dócha go mbainfidh a gcuid amhrán fíorálainn, macánta, pearsanta agus ó chroí le samhraí óige agus le céad ghrá chomh maith le díláithriú cultúrtha, éagóracha iar-choilíneacha agus brón. Ach is é léiriú paiseanta Ríoghnach agus a guth neamhghnách a chuireann stad ort, in éineacht le gile neamhshuimiúil Stuart, atá chomh tarraingteach.
For them, it’s all about the song. Connolly is a storyteller and their exquisitely crafted, honest, personal, heartfelt songs are as likely to touch on childhood summers and first love as cultural dislocation, post- colonial injustices and grief. But it’s Ríoghnach’s impassioned delivery and extraordinary stop-you-in- your-tracks voice, coupled with Stuart’s understated brilliance that is so engaging.
Is é ‘Land Of My Other’ albam is déanaí The Breath. Deich rian bunaidh de cheol amh, álainn, fuaimiúil. Amhráin a insíonn scéalta ar bhealaí a mhaolaíonn, a spreagann, a ardaíonn agus a bhaineann le cordaí mothúchánacha a chuirfidh deora áthais chaointe i do shúile.
‘Land Of My Other’ is The Breath’s most recent album. Ten original tracks of raw, gorgeous, acoustic-minded music. Songs that tell stories in ways that soothe, stir, exalt, and touch emotional chords that will bring tears of lamenting joy, to your eyes.
