Lotus have crossed many continents and London underground travel card zones to bring you their laid-back rock with a twist of soul. The line-up is Amy Wagner on vocals and guitar, sister act Rachel Menzies and Fi Menzies on strings and extra vocals, and Mike Hopkin on keys and occasional bongo artistry.

London's top Fulham / Hoxton / Hackney-based acoustic rock/soul four-piece, (you can't prove we're not), Lotus's short but eclectic career has so far seen them rocking the main stage at venues from Brentford to Mayfair, all kicked off by their appearance in a 2005 West London band competition, which they didn't want to win anyway.
