The Mantelli Five are a mum-dad-and-three-kids family band. They play ukulele, flutes, piano accordion, upright cello, guitar, violins and percussion, and they all sing. They collaborate to write originals and create their own takes on some well-known chart-busters. Their music spans many styles but always contains layers of texture, groove and rhythm with sweet melodies and a bit of humour. The Mantelli Five have just pressed their debut self-titled EP. “The new Perch Creek Family Jug Band" (Sarah Carroll) “Must see” (Fiona Kitschen & Gareth Liddiard of The Drones, QMF2010)
