Celloman has been active for over twenty years under various guises including an electric band, acoustic string trio, and solo cello.
Having released seven albums and performed extensively across the UK and abroad including at major festivals such as Glastonbury, Womad, Sauti za Busara (Zanzibar) and Exit Festival in Serbia, Celloman are back with a UK tour to promote the release of ?Panacea', the first full band studio album since the 2009 release of Sharptown.
The electric band, led by the electric cello over drums, bass and sampled beats, has a big reputation and sound. A sound that is a unique fusion of world music, jazz and classical mixed with African and Middle-Eastern rhythms. In addition, Panacea adds a Classical Baroque flavour to the mix with use of a cello quintet throughout the album.
On the Panacea tour, cellist Ivan Hussey, will be joined by drummer Cosimo Keita and bassist Andy Waterworth or Davide Mantovani together with occasional special guest, to perform the album in its entirety.
