Grand National is a British dance musical group from London, England who have toured extensively throughout Europe and USA. The project is a collaboration between Rupert Lyddon (born Amersham 1975) and Lawrence Rudd (born Weston-super-Mare 1976), who also is a DJ and remixer. Their sound is reminiscent of early forays into electronic sound manipulation, New Wave and psychedelic soul. As a live act the band usually adopt a six-piece format.
