Read full details
Hothouse Flowers bring their distinctive blend of Irish folk, soul, and gospel to Birmingham for an intimate evening of live music. Known for their energetic performances and heartfelt songwriting, the band rose to fame in the late 1980s with their debut album *People*, which became the best-selling debut in Irish history. Fans can expect a setlist spanning their career, from early hits like "Don't Go" and "Feet on the Ground" to later material, all delivered with the passion that has defined their decades-long journey.
The band's story began on the streets of Dublin, where childhood friends Liam Ó Maonlaí and Fiachna Ó Braonáin started busking before being joined by Peter O'Toole. Their organic rise included support from U2's Bono and a memorable appearance at the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest, which helped propel them to international attention. This concert offers a chance to experience the warmth and authenticity of a group that has weathered hiatuses and lineup changes while remaining true to their roots.
Attendees can look forward to a night of singalong choruses, soulful harmonies, and the unique chemistry that only comes from musicians who have shared stages for nearly four decades.
