Angeline is one of the leading voices in English folk music today, celebrated for her soulful, resonant voice, evocative songwriting, and deeply affecting performances. Her artistry has earned standing ovations on stages large and small, with Mojo ranking her #5 among key voices of 2023. A singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, Angeline’s music explores ordinary lives with reverence and curiosity. Accompanying herself on autoharp, dulcimer, and mbira, or singing unaccompanied, she delivers performances that linger long in memory. The Birmingham born-musician has lived in Cornwall for many years, where she is an active figure in the local music scene. Her groundbreaking album The Sorrow Songs: Folk Songs of Black British Experience, released on Topic Records, illuminated the often-overlooked Black British presence within the folk canon. Hailed as The Guardian’s Folk Album of the Year, it spent 15 weeks in the Top 40 Official Folk Albums Chart and is described by Angeline as a re-storying and a gift to forgotten Black ancestors and today’s folk community. Angeline’s diverse influences span folk, soul and other genres, having performed in projects like The Mighty Sceptr...

THE BREATH

Bessels Green Baptist Church · Sevenoaks

Ríoghnach Connolly and Stuart McCallum are the creative heart of The Breath. And for them, it’s all about the song. Ríoghnach writes the only way she knows how; a stream of poetic consciousness giving rise to honest, personal, heartfelt songs as likely to touch on childhood summers and first love as cultural dislocation, post-colonial injustices and grief. But it’s her deeply soulful, utterly engaging, stop-you-in-your-tracks voice – whether delicate and hushed or powerful and gutsy – coupled with Stuart’s understated brilliance and their exquisitely crafted songs, that give The Breath such emotional depth. On the live stage, Rioghnach is a powerful, emotional singer and an impressive flautist, her between-songs banter is legendary and she has one of the most infectious and wicked laughs you will hear. Stuart`s impressive musical skills and his sophisticated, elegant guitar work gives light and shade to the songs shared. Their songs are deep, intensely personal, songs that tell stories in ways that soothe, stir, exalt, and touch emotional chords that will bring tears of lamenting joy to your eyes, They are sometimes very sad, dealing with very emotive issues but, whilst...
