Hi Listeners

For my second live band of the day ( 10th Nov) I was excited to welcome on to the show Norwich based band CIELO

Cielo is made up of:

Guitar George (Guitar, Saxophone & Vocals)
Arnob Basit (Vocals/MC)
Ben Parker (Bass)
Az Wright (Drums & Percussion)
Will Phillips (Guitar & FX)

Cielo are a five piece urban pop/funk band. Originating from Norwich who are consistently selling out venues across their local region. Their sounds have influences from Jazz, Hip-Hop, Blues, Latin & Flamenco, Swing, Rock n Roll however they incorporate these sounds in a commercial nature.

Highlights so far include supporting Ash, Feeder and Roots Manuva  at PLAYFEST  festival last year, headlining the soapbox stage at Folk East w/ Seth Lakeman & Bellowhead and headlining numerous local festivals including Ferryfest, Staithing Alive Festival and Barford festivals. Recently they launched their debut EP at Epic TV studios, the former Anglia TV centre was packed for the gig with 500+ fans of the band attending the show which included support slots from Killamonjambo and De’vide (The Voice).

They have now begun performing in London, including venues in Camden and the O2 academy in Islington to great revues and will be looking to expand their performances to venues around the country in the coming months.

On their way to gigs tonight in London the band took some time out to pop in to the phoenix fm studio and chat about their new EP and perform some exclusive live tracks, to listen to the interview in full click on the audio tab below;
