Ríoghnach Connolly (IRE)

Ríoghnach Connolly is a singer, flutist, songwriter, and musical activist. She was crowned Folk Singer of the Year by both RTÉ and BBC Radio 2. Growing up in a family with a rich Irish music tradition, she built an impressive international career with projects such as The Breath, Honeyfeet, and Afro Celt Sound System. In Dranouter she is on stage with Ellis Davies, her musical and life partner of nearly twenty years. As a duo, they return to the traditional music of Ríoghnach's youth, subtly supported by Ellis' refined fingerpicking guitar. TIP: join us beforehand in 'Nouter Bar for a delicious meal.
