"Ríoghnach Connolly & Honeyfeet" Concert

Ríoghnach Connolly & Honeyfeet 

Ríoghnach Connolly & Honeyfeet 

Jazz / pop / folk - Manchester

Swampy jazz, strident brass, fractured funk, blues ballads and folk textures, all held together by groove and a clear commitment to musical freedom. That’s what you’ll find in this concert by Honeyfeet and the woman behind it, the indomitable Ríoghnach Connolly. Born in Northern Ireland, she currently lives in Manchester and leads the band with her vocals, showing us both her most combative and critical side and her vulnerability.

Winner of RTÉ Radio 1’s Folk Award for Best Folk Singer and BBC Radio 2’s Folk Singer of the Year, Ríoghnach Connolly has a voice that’s equally fierce, tender and courageous. Together with the musicians accompanying her, she connects tradition, in the form of ancestral songs, with contemporary narration. You may remember her early 2025 appearance alongside Annie Lennox at a fundraising concert (Sisters: Annie Lennox and Friends) for The Circle, the global feminist organisation led by Lennox.

For all audiences
