2) - An acoustic rock band based in Cape Town, South Africa. Rory Eliot is lead vocalist and plays rhythm guitar, Chas Smit was lead guitarist and backing vocalist. Together they were described as "so unbelievably tight that they sound as though they are one masterful musician, playing two guitars, with four arms and one almighty voice".
More on South African Plush: On September 18 2005, after a gig that formed part of their national tour for A Few Blinding Views, Chas Smit was killed when he was hit by a speeding car. Rory was quoted by the Daily News as saying, "He was like a brother to me. I am not sure what the future holds for me, or for the band. I will have to think about it and what Chas would have wanted."
Memorial services took place in Pietermaritzburg, Cape Town and London.
After a 6 month sabbatical and reflection period, Rory has found the need to continue the musical journey he started over a decade ago. And so has begun his new career, alongside Ben Peters a former drummer with Plush performing as Rory Eliot and continuing with the promotion of both his albums, This charismatic duo have stunned crowds with their rhythmic cohesion and perform both old Plush favourites and Rorys latest compositions to roaring approval. Rorys successful acting career has lent itself to his superb showmanship with his audiences and he has toured nationally and internationally with theatre productions. Rory, again with Ben, is campaigning for SADD (South Africans Against Drunk Driving) with Brenda Voss of Wandering Star Projects and they are touring the country in an effort to educate students of the perils of drinking and driving.
In 2007 the group gained national momentum with a new release 'When Grace Grew Tall' shooting to the number one position on 5fm's Hi5@5 where it remained for four weeks. The band's song repertoire increased and drew sell-out crowds in South Africa and went on to have a successful tour of the United Kingdom in August, 2007.

Plush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hard to do but my church ain't agreeing though
Love's a lamb
This is my sacrifice for Him
Don't do it, don't end this perfect love
God's intentions a girl before you want to run
Let's end this feud
Don't say that, please don't be this way
Every day I will pray for you to be safe
From what? I am joyful,
I believe in love and I know what it's for
Giving, it's forgiving
And I'd give it all to you
Religion is a wall, separates all
So separate yourself and go
But write me a letter, send me a postcard
And don't you let me down
So go on one condition
You find whatever you're looking for
This is my final farewell
My final farewell
This has gotta be the hardest thing I'll ever do
I'm so confused about these feelings that I have for you
All these words, all these rules
I can't explain it, I can't contain it
Well, don't cry, baby
You'll be fine, baby
This world's gonna treat you just right, baby
Let's just see, it's a world full of endless possibility
I stuck for answers on and in every page I read
Trying to figure out what God's gonna do with me
I feel so isolated, well I feel so damn frustrated
'Cos I know it ain't right and I really wanna stop it
Fingers slipping more and more
I can't help it
This must be destined to end
But write me a letter, send me a postcard
And don't you let me down
So go on one condition
You find whatever you're looking for
This is my final farewell
My final farewell
(Write me a letter)
My final farewell
(Write me a letter)
My final farewell
(Send me a postcard)
My final farewell
