About this event
“Brilliant, uplifting and inclusive. That was amazing, here’s your cheque!” – Michael Eavis, Glastonbury Festival
"Extraordinary songs, virtuoso performances, beautiful moments and music hall bonhomie!" – Tom Robinson, BBC6Music
Hope and Social and their blue-jacketed joyousness are back, with their trademark life-affirming show to win over the hearts and minds of gig-goers across the land. Hope and Social gigs are an emotional rollercoaster mix of chaos and superlative musicianship, built on some of the finest songs you’ll ever hear, and garnished with a generous portion of Northern, self-deprecating humour. With a three-piece horn section and five-part harmonies, Hope and Social make a massive sound that draws influence from soul, indie, folk, disco and art rock.
You’ll sing, you’ll dance, you’ll smile so much your face will hurt.
Continually striving to be the best band you’ll ever hear, playing its socks off. Think Dexys. Think The Hold Steady. Bowie meets Bruce and the E Street Band.
Think the grooviest, funnest bar band you can imagine!
