Hope & Social, eight hoodlums who play all-out, ballsy, joyous and uplifting music to win the hearts of many a gig-goer throughout their ten-year tenure as one of the UK’s hardest working bands. Hope and Social gigs are a bewildering mix of chaos and superlative musicianship, built on some of the finest songs you’ll ever hear, and garnished with generous portion of Northern, self deprecating humour. With a 3 piece horn section and 5 part harmonies, Hope and Social make a massive sound that draws influence from soul, indie, folk, disco and art rock. You’ll sing, you’ll dance, you’ll smile so much your face will hurt. Think Dexys. Think The Hold Steady. Think the grooviest, funnest bar band you can imagine!

In March 2022 lead singer Simon was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. After a long year and a half of the best support the NHS can offer and lot of gaffa tape the band are doing their stretches and are ready to make a return to doing what they love best… playing life affirming music in rooms with friends and strangers and sharing a thunderous joy of being together and literally not being dead.
