Intimate showcase of contemporary folk and acoustic sounds by Ríoghnach Connolly & Honeyfeet at Metronome.
Ríoghnach Connolly & Honeyfeet play Metronome on Thursday 12 November, with the night starting at 7:30 PM. It's a double-bill that brings together the Irish flautist and singer Ríoghnach Connolly and the folk-inflected band Honeyfeet, both sharing the same stage for the evening.
They're coming off a run of live shows and a growing international profile, and they're touring with a new body of work to draw from. The set is described as an intimate showcase of contemporary folk and acoustic sounds, with the focus on musicianship and songwriting rather than a big production. It's a night built around the songs themselves, played in a venue that keeps things close and accessible.
Between them, they describe their sound as a blend of protest soul, twisted folk, deep groove and joyful abandon. It's a broad description, but it gives you a sense of the ground they cover: the soul and groove for the rhythm, the folk for the songs, and the protest for the lyrics. The 'twisted' part suggests they aren't just playing it straight, and the 'joyful abandon' points to the live energy they've built up over a string of recent performances.
