Hope & Social

2014 is a huge year for Hope & Social, a six-piece Leeds band-like-no-other.

Chosen to write and record the official Yorkshire Festival 2014 song, The Big Wide, Hope and Social have now completed the epic Tour of Infinite Possibility (TIP). Creating A Band Anyone Can Join along the way they played 12 gigs in 12 Yorkshire towns over 2 weekends, on a cycle-powered stage, marching around the route of the Grand Depart.

Impossible, right? Well, nearly, but not quite for Hope and Social seem unable to lie down and know when they're beaten! The project triumphed, smashing expectations and winning the hearts of thousands. So successful/lucky have Hope & Social been in this their 6th year together, they were invited to play at Leeds Arena at the Opening Ceremony of the Tour de France – a landmark event, broadcast live to millions worldwide on 3rd July, and the biggest in its 111-year history. What could possibly go wrong?
