After releasing the most successful debut album in Irish history in 1988, Hothouse Flowers have never looked back. Catch them live in Worthing for the most intimate venue on their tour and get up close and personal with this legendary band 🇮🇪
Something amazing happens when Hothouse Flowers step onto the stage... something that has been shaped by over thirty years of singing and playing all over the world, yet no two shows have ever been the same! There is a sense of musical adventure, an impulse to reach new heights and depths in music where the unspoken aim is that the band and the audience become one and the world becomes a different place for a while. There is an unpredictable energy in the band that harkens back to their Risk days playing on the dancefloors of Dublin’s late-night clubs. They call upon their grand repertoire to create a show that is unique to the time and place. Improvisation can come at any point and allow the band express their brightest and their darkest influences.
Humour is never far from a Hothouse Flowers night. They do not take themselves seriously however, there is no mistaking the musical integrity among them as they open up to each other in musical dialogue. Hothouse Flowers are a rock’n’roll band, Hothouse Flowers are a traditional band, Hothouse Flowers are a soul band. Hothouse Flowers are a jam band with their own brand of jam on both sides of the bread!
