Folk in the Foyer: Little Rumba

Little Rumba’s musicians come from very different musical backgrounds, which is why the band presents such a unique blend of styles.
John Hymas (violin, viola and accordion) trained as a professional viola player in the classical world. He is also a highly regarded composer and founder member of the contemporary folk band Hoover the Dog.
Singer and guitarist Pete Mustill was part of the original R&B boom in the 60’s but subsequently had a ‘Road to Damascus’ moment in the late 80’s on first hearing the music of Astor Piazzolla.
Hugh Colvin is the band’s saxophonist. He is another polymath, combining large scale theatre productions with playing his beloved saxophones.
Little Rumba’s inspirational bass player Jacqui Savage has provided the beat for a whole series of Border and Midlands bands – most recently as part of the rhythm section of Paul Bridgwater’s Electric Blues Rebellion.
