Welcome to the Extreme Cello web site!

Since 2003, the Extreme Cellists have taken musical performances to new heights, and depths, by giving performances in many extreme locations.
 
In July 2008, the Extreme Cellists successfully attempted the Four Peaks Challenge, which involved climbing the tallest mountains in Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland with cellos, and giving a performance at the top of each!

As of the end of the challenge, over £3,500 has been raised for Mountain Rescue and the spinal cord injury charity Aspire. To find out about sponsorship (including how to donate online) please click here.
 
 
 
Previous challenges include, in 2006, the Cathedral Roof Tour - in which the cellists played on the roofs of all 42 Anglican Cathedrals in England in the space of just 12 days, raising a total of £5,266 for Shelter and ASPIRE; the 2005 Extreme Cello Walk, involving a 45-mile trek in a single day; and in July 2007 the Monopoly Board Challenge, giving a short performance at each of the streets on the London Monopoly board in just one day (in order, of course!).
