MUSIC: Hothouse Flowers to kick off Leopardstown festival

HOTHOUSE Flowers and Paddy Casey with special guest Saoirse Casey are the latest acts to be revealed for this summer's Bulmers Live At Leopardstown series, taking place at the famous Dublin racecourse throughout June to August on Thursday evenings. 

Kicking off this year's festival, Hothouse Flowers return to the racecourse stage on Thursday, June 7.

The Flowers have remained a consistent live force on the music scene and remain huge fans' favourites to this day.

The band stormed the UK Charts last year when 'Don't Go' reached Number 1 following the huge attention received from the launch of the TV motor show, The Grand Tour, on Amazon Prime. 

A winner of two consecutive Meteor Music Awards for Best Irish Male, Paddy Casey also returns to play Bulmers Live At Leopardstown on Thursday, June 14 along with his daughter and stunning vocalist Saoirse.

Following in her father's footsteps, Saoirse is already making her own mark in the Irish music scene.

These are the latest additions to what is shaping up to be the biggest Bulmers Live at Leopardstown series to date.

Hothouse Flowers and Paddy Casey join Hudson Taylor (June 21), Paul Young (July 19), Keywest (July 26), Smokie (August 9) and The Waterboys (August 16), with one more exciting announcement coming soon.

The Thursday evening performances will be preceded by a top class card of horse racing.
