Mountain cellists reach peak performance
A group of musicians will be hitting the high notes after scaling the tallest mountains in Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland with their instruments.
The Extreme Cellists, three novice mountaineers who take their performances to out-of-the-ordinary places, will give a musical performance at the top of each of the four peaks.
Jeremy Dawson, Clare Wallace and James Rees started the challenge on 21st July by climbing the tallest Mountain in the British Isles, Ben Nevis (Scotland) at 1344m before moving on to Scafell Pike, 978m in England and then climbing the 1085m of Mt Snowdon in Wales.
Now they just have to hike the 1038m of Carrauntoohil in Ireland which should be completed tomorrow.
Cellist Jeremy, 32 from Sheffield said: "We hope that experienced mountain walkers really appreciate our tour. If you want to come and hear our performances on top of the mountains, you are very welcome."
The trio are hoping to raise £10,000 for charities Aspire and Mountain Rescue.
Aspire’s Andrew Ogierman, said: "The money the cellists raise will help make a difference to the 1,200 people who become paralysed each year by providing a number of practically based projects designed to ensure that spinally injured people have many of their immediate and future needs met, enabling them to live their lives as independently as possible."
