Cellicious

Event information

Two cellist Jazz singers join forces to express their take on a world of standards, Latin, originals
plus more. Kate Shortt cellist, singer songwriter cabaret artist and comedienne is known for her
avant-garde improvisations and off the wall humour. Rupert Gillett, multi-instrumentalist, singer
composer and jazz bassist is also experienced in rock, blues and Eastern European styles. Sit back
and enjoy this Cellicious ride from originals to Be bop to the Blues and Bach again!
‘…Shortt’s solo took the honours! It was an unusual but impressive
juxtaposition of overtones, atonality and snatches of delicate folk melodies…’
Ian Mann Jazz reviewer
‘…Stand out performance came from Rupert Gillett. Great cellist with comical side and songs that
were instantly playing in your head…’ Fiona Jarvis Blue Badge Style
