Extreme Cello

A trio of charity minded cellists who have taken music to new heights (and depths) since 2003.

Our 20th anniversary concert is this Saturday at 7pm at St Mark’s church, Broomhill (part of their 60th anniversary celebrations too!). Staring with a performance from the roof! Come along - admission free, with a retiring collection in aid of @AspireCharity and @GoBeyondCharity

We’re also planning a major challenge this summer… we’ll let you know more about this in a few weeks! #ExtremeCello

We’re pleased to announce our 20th Anniversary #ExtremeCello Concert!

It will be at 7pm on Saturday 20 May at St Mark's church, Broomhill, Sheffield (the closest weekend to our actual anniversary). It will start with an “extreme” performance and feature some special guests!

[Extreme Cello @ExtremeCello]

No tickets needed in advance and admission is free, but there will be a retiring collection for the two charities we are supporting this year, @AspireCharity and @GoBeyondCharity.

We hope to see you there!

Inspired by the wonderful @samaracello, and in honour of the presenter Frank Bough who died a few days ago, here's myversion of the @BBCSport Grandstand theme for eight cellos (well, one cello eight times...) #sport #cello #tvthemes

This young cellist has done an amazing series of 100 outdoor performances, one on each day of lockdown. We particularly enjoyed number 100 - playing out in the Peak District at the crack of dawn. Truly an extreme cellist in the making! Well done Toby!

#Gardengig no. 100! We got up at 4am for this, and went into the Peak District. You’ll understand the early start when you listen. Thank you for listening! https://t.co/pnhS0UJ0j8 @SheffMusicHub @SoundpostMusic @raringtoread @BBCSheffield #Sheffieldissuper @BirkdaleSchool

Although our 2020 Extreme Cello plans are on hold because of the pandemic, the Junior Extreme Cellists (now aged 13-16) have done this wonderful socially-distanced recording to offer us all a Bridge Over Troubled Water in these difficult times! https://t.co/lIOHy3ZZPI

It really is the most magnificent of piers in our humble opinion! @ClevedonPierG1

[Extreme Cello @ExtremeCello]

We’re at Clevedon to play at the 150th anniversary of the pier... so it’s obligatory to have fish & chips for lunch! #Clevedon #150years #piers

[Extreme Cello @ExtremeCello]

We rated these according to the same scale that we used three years ago. They scored 220/300, which puts them above average but not quite up to top 3 level... https://t.co/JGHlyEeSkD

...and if you want to see what we made of Clevedon, and the other piers we played on in 2016, read all about it here! https://t.co/b8FsfBZP6h

[Extreme Cello @ExtremeCello]

Really excited about playing for this wonderful event on Bank Holiday Monday! Heading back to our favourite pier from the 2016 Pier Pressure challenge for their 150th anniversary. #Clevedon #Pier

[Birkdale Prep School @BirkdalePrep]

PP2 had a real treat in their #music lesson this morning when they were joined by extreme cellist and Birkdale governor, @jfdawson76, playing some classical and some @starwars pieces! He also showed some photos of him playing cello on Ben Nevis! @ExtremeCello 🎼🎻
