Hope & Social are a band who do things a little bit differently. They wear blue jackets and play mind-blowing, balls-to-the-floor, anything-for-a-laugh, much-more-for-a-tear, heart-on-your-sleeve, foot-on-your-monitor gigs. They count BBC Radio 2’s Mark Radcliffe and BBC Radio 1’s Greg James as fans and describe themselves as a 'Yorkshire E-Street Band meets Arcade Fire meets The Faces meets Dexy’s Midnight Runners meets Prefab Sprout at a party.'
