The program includes iconic songs (by AC/DC, Bob Dylan, Oasis and more) dismantled and reimagined for solo cello. Intertwined with original compositions from William's acclaimed debut album, This Old Cello Box.

There's something for everyone, from virtuosic bluegrass, to non-Western sound worlds. William incorporates his jazz guitar background into an unconventional style of cello playing, delivering cellopickin' grooves and catchy hooks, alongside intimate melodies. 'Outstanding, a truly remarkable performance' (BBC Radio 3).
