SUNDAY NIGHT
Ríoghnach Connolly &
Honeyfeet
Kit Hawes & Aaron Catlow
ST GEORGE’S BRISTOL
Sun 3 May | Doors 7.30 pm
Powerhouse vocals & prodigious talent bring the house down for the closing concert of Bristol Folk Festival 2026.
Ríoghnach Connolly & Honeyfeet
A powerhouse of protest soul, twisted folk, deep groove & joyful abandon.
Ríoghnach Connolly & Honeyfeet move with ease between swampy jazz, raucous brass, fractured funk, blues balladry & gorgeous folkloric textures. At the heart of the band, BBC Radio 2 Folk Singer of the Year, Ríoghnach Connolly combines powerhouse vocals, flute flourishes & a razor-sharp wit that transforms gigs into carnivals.
‘A brilliant band’ Craig Charles, BBC 6 Music
Honeyfeet deftly hold this mischievous mix together, with a groove & Jazz-like commitment to musical freedom. Bass (Lorien Garth Edwards), guitar (Ellis Davies), keys (John Ellis), brass (Biff Roxby) & drums (Phill Howley) forming a fluid & fearless musical unit.
2025 saw headline slots at Manchester’s Albert Hall, Minack Theatre & a date with Annie Lennox at the Royal Albert Hall. Join us ahead of the bank holiday for a celebratory night to remember.
Kit Hawes & Aaron Catlow
One of the most exciting duos to emerge from the UK, Aaron Catlow (fiddle) & Kit Hawes (guitar) combine virtuosity & vocal harmony.
‘Dexterity, energy & passion…mightily impressive’ R2 Magazine
Known for their work with supergroups John Martyn Project & Sheelanagig, the pair shien when they take centre-stage. Using folk music of the British Isles as a catalyst, the dynamic duo bring to life songs old & new.
‘Reminiscent of Dave Swarbick & Martin Carthy. A duo at the top of their game’ Mark Radcliffe BBC Radio 2
