Hothouse Flowers' debut album People (1988) was a remarkable fusion of rock, folk, and soulful blues, spearheaded by the charismatic vocals of Liam Ó Maonlaí. The album was anchored by the hit single "Don't Go," which propelled the band to international recognition. With rich instrumentation and passionate performances, People stood out for its refreshing blend of Irish musical roots with contemporary rock influences. The album was the fastest-selling debut in Irish history at the time. It topped the Irish Albums Chart and peaked at No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart, while also making significant impact in the U.S. and other markets. People was certified Platinum in the UK and Double Platinum in Ireland. Backed by strong singles like "I'm Sorry" and "Feet on the Ground," the album sustained impressive momentum, further fueled by the band's dynamic live performances. People solidified Hothouse Flowers as one of the most exciting Irish bands of the late '80s, demonstrating the band's ability to bridge genres while delivering powerful, heartfelt music. For 2025 Hothouse Flowers celebrate both People and its follow up album Home.
