HOTHOUSE FLOWERS: LET'S DO THIS THING TOUR 2023 £33.00+Booking fee

THE FLOWERS IN MAY!

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.

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 or busking in Dublin’s streets by day. 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. "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 the 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. There are still songs to

be written and emotions to share. Whether its in a tiny club, an arena or in a festival field

there is a sense that the best is yet to come.

The band’s touring in Ireland, the UK and on the festival circuit prior to the global pandemic

saw them reveal new material from their brand new album Let’s Do This Thing which they

released on www.hothouseflowers.com. In March 2020 Let’s Do This Thing was released on

all digital platforms just as their touring plans were all put on hold. The band can’t wait to

safely get back to their natural habitat in front of a live audience on their Let’s Do This Thing

Tour in May of 2023!
