"Chris Evans has called them 'The new Wurzels' on Radio 2, Paddy McGuinness has called them "the Spinal Tap of Folk Bands" but their fans know them simply as Bernard, Bob, Kenny, Billy and Dickie: The Lancashire Hotpots.
Back on tour with their eighth album, the Hotpots are the ultimate party band for those wanting an unpretentious evening of music, comedy and fun. Whether it's serenading the female counter staff at the local off licence or singing about Shopmobility scooters the Hotpots are ready to raise the roof once more with a fun evening of musical merriment and good times.
Suuport comes from Yorkshire's hilarious The Bar-Steward Sons Of Val Doonican, described by Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker as "The best thing to come out of Barnsley since the A61 to Sheffield".
