Monday 1st of May 2023Hothouse Flowers

Something amazing happens when Hothouse Flowers step onto the stage – something that has been shaped by thirty eight years of singing and playing together 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.
Improvisation can come at any point and allow the band express their brightest and their darkest influences. “Rock and Roll is not about safety or politeness, it is not about perfection either. It is expression and it is spirit.” Humour is also never far from a Hothouse Flowers night. They don’t take themselves too seriously however, there is no mistaking the musical integrity among them as they open up to each other in musical dialogue. Despite the bands lengthy career which is now in  latter half of its fourth decade there is a sense of unfinished business. Every night they want to play the best gig they have ever played and take the musical risks that can maybe make that possible.
