The Lancashire Hotpots

The Lancashire Hotpots

Comedy Folk

"Twenty first century folk for twenty first century folk" '

The Lancashire Hotpots record songs about Lancashire and other British culture (e.g. "Chippy Tea", "He's Turned Emo", "eBay Eck"). Their first single, "He's Turned Emo", gained over 230,000 plays on MySpace and was featured on BBC Radio One by Colin Murray. Their debut album, Never Mind The Hotpots was a minor hit, reaching number one comedy album on iTunes in the UK and number two in the BBC 6 Music Album Charts.

There aren't many bands who can have their videos played on MTV2 and also have real ales named after them but there also aren't many bands like The Lancashire Hotpots.

The Lancashire Hotpots take comedic observations of the trappings of modern day life (Sat Navs, meeting women on the internet and Shopmobility Scooters) added some infectious melodies and created a live show where singing, drinking and having fun are equally important for both the audience and band alike.

The band have quickly acquired a massive following.  In just a few years, the Hotpots have become one of the biggest live bands in the North West of England. Their last tour which included 18 dates supporting ardent fan Paddy McGuinness on his 'Paddy McGuinness Plus You' tour saw them playing to more than 30,000 people. The band have also knotched up an appearance at the 2009 Glastonbury Festival.

With nearly a million Myspace plays currently to their credit, their first album Never Mind The Hotpots reached No 2 in the BBC 6 Music Album charts with national support from Radio 1 (Colin Murray, Rob Da Bank), Radio 2 (Chris Evans, Arthur Smith) and 6Music (Steve Lamacq).  Never Mind The Hotpots and their new album 'Pot Sounds' have both made it to No 1 in the iTunes comedy download charts.
