One of the most electrifying and genre-defying live acts performing today, Honeyfeet, will be playing on Saturday.

​

At the heart of Honeyfeet is the indomitable Ríoghnach Connolly, winner of the RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Award for Best Folk Singer and BBC Radio 2’s Folk Singer of the Year. Her voice, equal parts fierce, tender and fearless, connects ancestral song traditions with contemporary storytelling.

​

Lorien Garth Edwards on bass, Ellis Davies on guitar, John Ellis on keyboards, Biff Roxby on brass, and Phill Howley on drums form a fluid and fearless musical unit. Their live sets move seamlessly between swampy jazz, raucous brass, fractured funk, blues balladry, and folkloric textures, held together by a groove and a commitment to musical freedom. Connolly’s vocals lead the charge, blending mischief, protest and vulnerability into something fiercely human and utterly live.

​

Ríoghnach will also be playing another set as a duo with John Ellis.
