Only Stories (Acoustic)

The Breath

‘Only Stories’ is taken from the Breath’s acoustic album, Only Stories (Let The Cards Fall Revisited). It is released on Real World Records on 5 April 2019.

“Only Stories is about oral history —that which can’t be written down— and memories of childhood summers in Glandore, West Cork, with my grandparents. Proper Irish summers, that seem to go on forever and where time goes by the wayside” ~Ríoghnach Connolly
