A FOLK ROCK BAND THAT LIKES BLUES, SOUL, FUNK AND JAZZ FROM NEW ORLEANS

REINCARNATED AMY WINEHOUSE? IT COULD BE, EXCEPT THAT RÍOGHNACH CONNOLLY HAS A CROSS-GENRE BAND CALLED HONEYFEET AND SINGS ACCORDINGLY.

Believe, becoming a fan of this Manchester band doesn't take much work. You don't know how the concert will end, but you will know right away when it starts. With the first pick-up of the amazing voice of Ríoghnach Connolly. From that moment on, all you have to do is think about making it last forever. Does this seem exaggerated to you? We'll talk about it after the concert, if you still have the strength to do it.
It's not music that you absolutely have to hear and you'll definitely survive if it doesn't, but you probably should. Ríoghnach Connolly with Honeyfeet incredibly enjoys throwing a mixture of British and Irish folk, rock, funk, blues, New Orleans jazz or hip hop; Yes, you read hip hop correctly. And also, as Ríoghnach claims, proper soul, although supposedly powered by a jet.
The biggest problem of every band comes when one of the members suddenly meets fame. Honeyfeet have been considered a local treasure in Manchester since 2008, and it's not that they don't wish success to singer Ríoghnach Connolly, but the collaboration with the Afro Celt Sound System and the formation of the duo The Breath with guitarist Stuart McCallum ruined the plan to hear her with the band more often. And for those of us who don't live in Manchester, it became difficult to find out about Honeyfeet a long time ago. The inability to reconcile the calendar of the singer and the band has also affected the number of albums released: only three so far, if we don't count the singles.
They once warned us in advance that Honeyfeet like Manchester before the Womex fair, but they forgot to add that they didn't like it, so we barely got into the crowded hall. And together with the delegates, they fully understood why the legendary British poet, singer and writer Benjamin Zephaniah said right after the first Honeyfeet concert: "I just fell in love."
