For your consideration.

10 Tunes 10 Instruments, 1 Musician.

A tune-stuffed short film featuring multi-talented musician Peter O’Toole (top).

Peter writes:

‘I have played with Hothouse Flowers since 1985…Although all our shows were cancelled from 12 March I got busy at home..We had trips to Serbia..Glastonbury..London Belfast Larne Newry and even a holiday on Lake Como cancelled…

During Lockdown I was very creative with my time and now I am presenting my short movie and my new CD called Leaving White Cedar.

I applied for and was awarded the Covid Grant from The Arts Council Of Ireland which helped put this project together.

The single “Far Off Beautiful World” is now available.

The movie captures me performing 10 new tunes that I wrote on 10 different instruments all played by myself and filmed at home here in Tipperary.

“The CD is the recordings of the tunes from the movie plus 4 extra songs.

“It is different..it’s unique and it’s a feel-good story from a difficult time.

It’s recorded on 1 studio microphone and filmed on my Android phone so it is very earthy and home-made but has a fantastic genuine warm feeling.

Best wishes and stay safe and healthy.’

Thought you might be interested in this video of master trad musicians and Hothouse Flowers Liam Ó Maonlaí and Fiachna Ó Braonáin performing a haunting duet in Doolin, Co. Clare

Fiachna and Liam feature on the season premiere of TG$’s Hup, a fresh take on traditional music visiting festivals across the country to showcase Ireland’s finest musicians.

Upcoming episodes will feature legends such as Tommy Emmanuel and Frankie Gavin and visit festivals in Baltimore, Kilfenora and Armagh, to name a few…

Some beardage, in fairness.

Not that kind of grass.

Silly.

A quarter of a century later.

Hot House Flowers’ suprisingly well-aged Europe-hopping video for 1988’s ‘Don’t Go’.

Paid for by the EU Broadcasting Union as the interval act for the 1988 Eurovision held in Dublin

They should have lost that sax solo, to be fair.

Twenty five years.

Also: name those countries, anyone?
