Hothouse Flowers LIVE at the Belfast Maritime Festival

Maritime Belfast Trust Presents Hothouse Flowers with special guests Ríoghnach Connolly and Honeyfeet, live at the Belfast Maritime Festival.

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.

Hothouse Flowers are a rock ‘n’ roll band, Hothouse Flowers are a traditional band, Hothouse Flowers are a soul band.  Despite the band’s lengthy career 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 it’s in a tiny club, an arena or in a festival field there is a sense that the best is yet to come.

Ríoghnach Connolly & Honeyfeet, led by BBC Radio 2 Folk Singer of the Year, deliver a powerful, eclectic performance with a broad terrain of musical textures, from foot-tapping song to floor-thumping dance rhythms. The Honeyfeet lineup includes Lorien Garth Edwards on bass, Ellis Davies on guitar, John Ellis on keyboards, Biff Roxby on brass, and Phill Howley on drums. An eclectic troupe based in Manchester, Honeyfeet’s sound spans from big-band swing to Alabama blues-tinged folk, all held together by Connolly’s powerful vocals and flute.

An unforgettable night of music at the Belfast Maritime Festival!

The Belfast Maritime Festival has been organised by Belfast City Council in partnership with Maritime Belfast Trust and supported by Belfast Harbour, Titanic Quarter Limited, Titanic Belfast, Odyssey Trust, Department for Communities and Tourism NI.
