Hothouse Flowers, a band that mixed rock, folk, and soul music, started in Dublin in 1985. Liam Ó Maonlaí and Fiachna Ó Braonáin, who were the band's first members, were inspired by traditional Irish music and music from around the world. Their signature sound—emotional vocals, energetic instrumentation, and rich harmonies—was set in early performances at clubs in Dublin. Their first album, People (1988), had hits like "Don't Go" and set the stage for a long career full of great songs and exciting live shows.
Hothouse Flowers' first album, which came out in 1988, did well on the charts in the UK and Ireland, which helped them build their reputation. They reached more people around the world by touring Europe and working with artists like Peter Gabriel.

Albums like Home (1990) and Songs from the Rain (1993) had hits that fans still love, which helped them get praise for decades and build a loyal global audience.
