RĆ­oghnach Connolly & Honeyfeet

RĆ­oghnach Connolly

As well as fronting Honeyfeet, RĆ­oghnach will be playing as a duo with Ellis Davies: a remarkable singer and flautist...who can ease from Irish traditional influences to soul.


A reminder that tickets are selling at a record rate this year, and we're now on Tier 2 tickets (until this sell out and we switch to tier 3). We have Wednesday add-ons and luxury glamping tents also now available. Find out more tickets here.
