PUBLISHED:  Apr 29, 2014
DESCRIPTION:
According to http://australianmusichistory.com/goldrush/ :

History

Formed in 1978. Disbanded in 1984
"In 1983 "Goldrush-Live at last" was released on an unsuspecting public. It was different from everything else that was out there at the time. It was predominantly Country rock/Bluegrass in its feel, but the band featured some of Australia's most outstanding musical talent. Phil Emmanuel: Electric guitars / Tommy Emmanuel: Drums / Mark Collins: Banjo, Mandolin and guitars / Dave Mare: Lead vocals/Accoustic and Electric guitars / Chris Haigh: Bass guitar

An original track penned by Dave Mare and Dennis James titled, "Keep in touch", received some limited airplay. But it was live where Goldrush really made it's mark, with the audience being totally spellbound by the guitar wizardry of Phil Emmanuel, the finger gymnastics of Mark Collins, and the novelty of Tommy Emmanuel, now a world class guitarist, playing drums." from the Goldrush MySpace page.
