Cellists hit high note for charity

Idle chat over a glass or two of wine at Tilehurst Rectory at Christmas has been transformed into the latest fundraising venture for The Extreme Cellists - three amateur musicians who play in the most unlikely places for charity.

The three, including Jeremy Dawson (son of the Revd Fred Dawson and wife Billie), wanted to play on the roofs of every English Cathedral over 12 days.
Fred told the DOOR: ‘In the end about half the cathedrals, including Christ Church in Oxford, are letting them loose outside. The others have offered lofty spots inside.’

The tour begins in Truro on 20 July and end in Carlisle, visiting Oxford on 25 July.

Fred says: ‘Go along to support them or go to www.extreme-cello.com
Money raised will go to Shelter and Inspire.
