Ríoghnach Connolly & Honeyfeet:
https://honeyfeet.org
BBC Radio 2 Folk Singer of the Year, Ríoghnach Connolly’s taste for musical adventure is eclectic
Along with her companion players, as Honeyfeet, they collectively drive a broad terrain of musical textures from esoteric protest songs to foot tapping, and floor thumping, dance rhythms
Ríoghnach (pronounced ree-ogh-nah), and the Honeyfeet ensemble are equally proficient in headlining festival stages as they are in stripping back to sublime obscure jazz on theatre stages
Known for her broad smiling on-stage banter, she often describes the delight of her multi-cultural voyage of discovery while pushing aside life’s banality in favour mischievous energy and creative joy
Traditional and folk are fundamental in Connolly’s musical cannon, coming from a long line of singers on both sides of her family, she channels the music of her grandparents and can draw from a breadth of styles and folk traditions across the world
Alongside Ríoghnach the Honeyfeet line up is; Lorien Garth Edwards, bass; Ellis Davies, guitar; John Ellis, keyboards; Biff Roxby, brass; and Phil Howley, drums
An eclectic troupe, all now based in Manchester, Honeyfeet’s brass heavy sound spans from the bountiful to the subtle, with everything from big-band swing to Alabama blues-tinged folk, all held together by the powerful vocals and flute from Ríoghnach
For more than a decade, Honeyfeet have been ‘on the road’, and have headlined stages at Shambala, Beautiful Days and Moovin Festivals along with wowing audiences at Glastonbury, Boomtown, Wilderness, Secret Garden Party and Kendal Calling
At this unique one-off event, they will be performing in the majestic and breathtaking surroundings of The Great Nave at The Monastery in Manchester
This is one very special afternoon not to be missed!
