The Celloman project began in 2001 with the release of Aquador followed by three further albums - Maya, the 2nd album of original material, a live album: It’s all an illusion and the 4th Celloman album Sharptown. Followed by the Acoustic Collection Vol.1 in Oct 2015. The Celloman band has performed extensively around the UK including most of the big festivals such as Glastonbury and Womad. They have performed in Serbia twice, Zanzibar, Holland and Spain. Cellist, Ivan Hussey was invited to perform a solo show at the International Cello Festival in Belgrade where he played to a packed house. Together the band has gained a fine reputation for both their CD’s and Live shows with a sound that has proven to be quite Unique. A blend of Middle Eastern and African rhythms, Eastern and Western classically inspired melodies, hypnotic harmonies and driving funky Bass & Drums.
