album!

About Samuel Moore
Hailed as “a fantastic flamenco guitarist” (BBC Radio 3) and winner of the Vienna
International Music Competition (2025) and the Manhattan International Music
Competition (2023), Samuel Moore is fast establishing himself as one of the leading
musicians of his generation. Since 2007 he has performed in venues across the UK,
Europe, and North America. Solo performance highlights include New York’s
Carnegie Hall and Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London.
When not on tour or recording, Samuel enjoys passing on his musical knowledge
through teaching. Notably, he is the author of the ‘Flamenco Guitar Compás
Essentials’ book series.
Samuel learnt his craft as a one-to-one student of the world-renowned flamenco

The Breath
2026-10-08 19:00 - 22:00 | The Assembly Room / Yr Ystafell Ymgynnull, The Assembly Room / Yr Ystafell Ymgynnull, Ruthin, Denbighshire, LL15 1AS, United Kingdom
The Breath is Stuart McCallum, acclaimed guitar whiz and ex-member of The Cinematic Orchestra, and Ríoghnach Connolly, multi award-winning folk singer. Softly-spoken Stuart and larger-than-life Ríoghnach met on Manchester’s gig circuit in the late noughties and their connection was immediate. They formed The Breath in 2016, a singer-songwriter duo to present their contemporary take on alt-folk.
For them, it’s all about the song. Connolly is a storyteller and their exquisitely crafted, honest, personal, heartfelt songs are as likely to touch on childhood summers and first love as cultural dislocation, post- colonial injustices and grief. But it’s Ríoghnach’s impassioned delivery and extraordinary stop-you-in- your-tracks voice, coupled with Stuart’s understated brilliance that is so engaging.
The Breath have released three albums on Peter Gabriel’s Real World label. Their breakthrough album, ‘Carry Your Kin’ (2016) delved deeply into the spaces between rock, ambient and Irish folk, where layered vocals, mesmerising guitar riffs and expansive folk arrangements created a big sound. ‘Let the Cards Fall’ followed in 2018, and, like the first, was recorded with a full band granting a multi-textured kaleidoscope of sound with a cinematic sensibility. References to Celtic history and cultural loss are woven into a bewitching collection of songs that span beguiling ballads and punch-the-air anthems. In support of the release, Stuart and Ríoghnach performed a series of shows – just the two of them. Stripped bare, they found a new depth and beauty in their songs allowing their extraordinary connection to shine through.
The duo returned to the studio in 2019 to record ‘Only Stories (Let the Cards Fall Revisited)’ reimagining previous work (alongside two new songs) taking it back to its acoustic roots. This new direction would see Ríoghnach Connolly receive an RTÉ Folk Award nomination for Best Folk Singer and win Folk Singer Of The Year at the 2019 BBC R2 Folk Awards for which the duo were also nominated as Best Duo/Group.

"An affecting blend... McCallum provides the grandeur and artifice and Connolly the intimacy and purity." - Uncut

"The Breath rolls across the senses like clouds caress low hills – always moving, changing, evolving; and utterly fascinating." - Folk Radio.com

"Folk roots but different horizons... the jaw-droppingly stunning, woozy voice of Ríoghnach Connolly." - The Guardian

Nic-Cage Against The Machine are an experience you have to see to believe. They have built up a reputation for being completely out there, completely over the top and completely brilliant.
Utilising the legendary cult status of Nicolas Cage, the 4 members of the band shine in their showmanship by going through a repertoire of iconic Cage movie characters, whilst simultaneously channeling the immense sound and music of Rage Against The Machine.
A radical performance with props, famous movie quotes, hilarious moments and all round bombasity.
"I am not familiar with that musical institution.." Nic Cage, The Guardian
