It’s possible you managed to miss the debut album from Manchester’s The Breath – the unique pairing of Rioghnach Connolly (of folk-hoppers Honeyfeet) and guitarist Stuart McCallum (of The Cinematic Orchestra). If they can build on its brilliance in 2017, then prepare to see them hit the mainstream.
Tantalising in theory; and in reality, a creative union between singer/flautist Rioghnach and guitarist Stuart surpassed our already high expectations. Carry Your Kin’s charm lays in its organic, unhurried sense of musicality. Tough to pigeonhole, it flowed easily between soul, folk and ambient styles.”
