The project began in 2001 with the release of ‘Aquador’ followed by two further albums -‘Maya’, the 2nd album of original material and a live album, ‘It’s all an illusion’.
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 and done a series of gigs in Spain. In 2005 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.
The Celloman band will be touring the UK in the Spring / Summer of 2009.
