Lancs Hotpots in London
aaamusic | On 18, Oct 2011
The Hotpots headlined the Croissant Neuf stage on Friday night at this year’s Glastonbury festival, the same time as U2 took to the Pyramid stage. Having been one of Steve Lamacq’s Glastonbury favourites in 2009, this was the bands 2nd appearance at the festival in 3 years. This alone is an indication that the band are a firm festival fixture at the top of their game.
With No.1 iTunes and No. 2 BBC6 Music charts album successes, GMTV and Granada TV appearances, a BBC6 Steve Lamacq live session, support from BBCR2 Chris Evans and a support tour with Paddy McGuinness to 20k+, recent support to Ade Edmondson and The Bad Shepherds, this has to be one of the highly anticipated albums of the year.
“Genuine wonderful comedy….they really are the best comedy band on the circuit.” Music News

The UK’s premier parodic musical act.” The Line of Best Fit
