FRIDAY 23 TO SUNDAY 25 AUGUST 2013 AT DUNCOMBE PARK, HELMSLEY, NORTH YORKSHIRE
Hope and Social
"a big sound from this impressive outfit, inspired, anthemic, great" - Q magazine.
In the tradition of the travelling bands. A Yorkshire E-Street Band, meets Arcade Fire, meets The Faces, meets Prefab Sprout, at a party, in an argument about who gets to have sex with David Bowie.
“Brilliant, uplifting & inclusive. That was amazing, here’s your cheque” - Michael Eavis, Glastonbury Festival.
Hope & Social play mind-blowing, balls-to-the-floor, anything-for-a-laugh-or-a-tear, heart-on-your-sleeve, foot-on-your-monitor gigs. No. Not gigs. Shows.
"leaders of the fun which is about to be had, sheer joy & enthusiasm exuded in every note" - louderthanwar.com
2013 sees the release of record number 9 in 5 years which comes on top of the countless live shows, thousands of kazoos, Glastonbury, a Come Dine With Us event, a Big Band Christmas romp, an open topped bus trip to the seaside, dozens of music videos, music-industry events, plus a baby or two.
