Ríoghnach Connolly and Honeyfeet return in 2025 with The Heads, Hearts and Hooves Tour, marking a bold new chapter for one of the UK’s most electrifying live acts. Blending protest soul, twisted folk, deep groove and sheer joyful abandon, the band set out across Europe and North America with a new body of work and a fast-growing reputation.
At the centre is Connolly herself – winner of the RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Award and BBC Radio 2 Folk Singer of the Year – whose fearless voice connects tradition with contemporary stories. Earlier this year she joined Annie Lennox at the Royal Albert Hall for Sisters: Annie Lennox and Friends, sharing the stage with Celeste and Nadine Shah in a night that championed the transformative power of music.
Honeyfeet’s rise has been steady and thrilling: from headline shows at Manchester’s Albert Hall during WOMEX 24, to a spellbinding sunset performance at Cornwall’s Minack Theatre. Now their 2025 tour takes them from Gobefest in Manchester and Belgium’s Plein Publique Festival, across Canada to Hillside and Calgary Folk, before autumn appearances at Wilderness, Green Man and Found, finishing with a headline at Manchester Academy Three.
The band – Lorien Garth Edwards (bass), Ellis Davies (guitar), John Ellis (keys), Biff Roxby (brass) and Phill Howley (drums) – shift seamlessly between swampy jazz, fractured funk, brass-fuelled grooves and folkloric textures. With Connolly’s voice leading the charge, every Honeyfeet show is part celebration, part protest, and always a reminder of just how alive live music can be.
