We are delighted to tell our story in a brand new documentary that’s follows our amazing journey from our performing on Grafton Street, Dublin through to current day.

“Stick Around and Laugh a While” is airs on RTÉ, and let us tell you, it’s a heart warmer and a soul shaker.

Cast your minds back to 1988, a year that for us, feels both like yesterday and a lifetime ago. That’s where our story kicks off, but oh, it doesn’t stop there. Fast forward to 2023, and there we were, hitting the road, selling out venues across the UK, and proving that time might march on, but the music? It’s timeless.

Why do we still do it? Why do we still gather, year after year, tune after tune? This film dives deep into those questions. From our earliest days, strumming chords and finding our voices at a school talent show, to releasing our debut album that set the stage for everything that followed. And who could forget that unforgettable gig at the RDS in Dublin, with over 40,000 of you joining us in a celebration of music, life, and everything in between?

“Stick Around and Laugh a While” isn’t just a look back—it’s a heart-to-heart, a story of persistence, passion, and the sheer joy of making music with your mates. It’s about sticking together through thick and thin, and why, after all these years, Hothouse Flowers continues to bloom.

Hothouse Flowers – Stick Around and Laugh a While

We are looking to reschedule for autumn. Below is a message from Liam on behalf of the band.

Dear Flower friends:

We are in lockdown here in Ireland now. Italy’s situation became an example to the rest of us and we have to respond to stem the flow of this virus . We wanted to and were so much looking foreword to coming over to London to do our thing onstage with all of you . Were it not that we are part of a chain of humanity that includes our vulnerable relatives I believe we all would have thrown caution to the wind and come regardless .

We are healthy . I did not decide until today myself . But the decision had to be made . We have Neighbours and relatives near and around us . Traveling through an international hub running the risk of picking the bug up and carrying it back is a risk that affects not only us but our community as well . Our people here . This is a global happening beyond our comprehension. There are silver linings . The chances for our children to take control of their own education for a while . We have a chance to re evaluate what life and community means to us . Great works could come . A singular wave covering all humanity could have inspiring consequences. Nothing is singularly good or bad . Spring is coming ( it’s here according to St Brigid ) we welcome the new life and a great tide of good health . ‘Love the only engine of survival ‘ LCohen’s soon as we have alternative plans we will share them .

Love and thanks for so many good times past and to come In music

Liam
