The Lancashire Hotpots
Fri 13 July
Take five Northern blokes, dress them in flat caps, get them to sing folk songs about the wonders of modern day life and you have the recipe for fun that is The Lancashire Hotpots.
Since forming in 2007, The Lancashire Hotpots have become local heroes touring with Paddy McGuinness, playing Glastonbury Festival twice, plus live studio sessions at BBC 6Music for avid Hotpots fan Steve Lamacq. The band have had real ales named after them and have firmly reinstated the conga as an essential part of everybody’s good night out!
With rousing anthems such as Chippy Tea, He’s turned Emo and I Fear Ikea, the Hotpots are a fun-filled rollercoaster of musical comedy singing the praises of ale, chips and having a great time.
