Rush Hour are a five piece acoustic band who over their first two years have developed an awe-inspiring set of superbly played songs, polished in performance yet still beautifully raw and emotive in delivery. They have captivated the attention of both audiences and venue organisers across the country. The group who formed in Feb 2001 is comprised of Andy Larmouth and Andy Cooper on acoustic guitars, Samantha Gore on vocals, Neil Macleod on drums and percussion, and Chris Wilson on bass. Their sound incorporates a vibrant mix of traditional styles with contemporary music, which is fused together to form an exciting meld resulting in truly impressive live performances. www.rushhour.org.uk
