Hot House Flowers at the National Opera House

Something amazing happens when Hothouse Flowers step onto the stage – something that has been shaped by over many 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.

Fiachna, Liam and Peter are traditional musicians. This allows for moments of ancestral connection. From a Doors-like musical workout one minute, to an earnest and timeless offering to the memory of Currachaí na Tra Báine the next. This moment and moments like these set the Flowers apart from almost any other band of their time and trade. Their debut album, ‘People’, was the most successful debut album in Ireland ever!

Hothouse Flowers are a rock n’roll band, Hothouse Flowers are a traditional band, Hothouse Flowers are a soul band. Despite the bands lengthy career there is a sense of unfinished business.
