Band Members: The Cornelius Ensemble. This is the string quartet that i run. We do everything from Classical recitals, we did a series of concerts in London last Autumn, as well as recordingsessions, playing live with bands and of course good old wedding, corporate and funeral ( not often mind) gigs. We also arrange contempory stuff for string quartet and are currently writing our own material. New website coming soon........Then there's Chancery Blame and the Transcendentals, a bit of a mouthful but well worth the effort. Taking a contempory edge on classic gypsy music, fusing a bit of burlesque tongue in cheek with, at times, heart-stoppingly beautiful and at others, car crash fast, foot stomping Hungarian and russian fare. If you like violin virtuosi like Roby or Sandor Lakatos or the quirky energy of Kocani Orkestra, then you'll be partial to The Transcendentals.
