Celtic group Hothouse Flowers will return to Liverpool for the first time in three years as they announce details of their upcoming show at the O2 Academy on Wednesday 7th November
Made up of Liam O’ Maonlai (vocals, keys, guitar), Fiachna O’ Braonain (guitar, vocals), Peter O’Toole (bass) and Dave Clarke (drums), Hothouse Flowers formed in 1985 and have since built themselves up from busking in the streets of Dublin to performing on stages across the world. They made Irish musical history with their first album People in 1988 as it was named the most successful debut release due to its phenomenal chart success as it hit number 1 in the Irish charts within just a week and is now certified Gold.
Over their time as a band they have also released a Platinum certified album in the form of 1990’s Home, and have also had their music broadcast across Europe as their second ever single Don’t Go was used on Eurovision in 1988
Hothouse Flowers have refined their live shows through over 30 years of performing around the world to the point where no two shows are ever the same. Improvisation can come at any point and allow the band to express their brightest influences as well as their darkest. There’s a sense of musical adventure; an impulse to reach new heights and depths in music. They aim to becoming one with their audience to make their world a different place for a while.
Tickets for the Hothouse Flowers are available to purchase from the o2 Academy Box office.
