List of Celestial Sphere members

Celestial Sphere is a British symphonic metal band from Burton upon Trent, England. Officially formed in 1991, the group originally began as a black metal band with the line-up of; vocalist James Harrison, drummer Caitlyn Harrison, guitarists Ragnar Horowitz, Hjalmar Østigård and bassist Trygve Brandtzæg, though early work from 1989 is also classed as Celestial Sphere. The band would switch to symphonic metal in 1993 with Caitlyn taking over vocals with James switching to lead guitar and backing vocals. Caitlyn then stepped down as lead singer due to illness and became the bands third guitarist. The band's current line-up includes Caitlyn and James, violinist, flautist and uilleann pipes player Julie Fowlis (since 2001), keyboardist Meiju Enho (since 2003, previously a live member from 2002 until 2003), rhythm guitarist Richard Henshall (since 2018), bassist Mai Leisz, drummer Chad Szeliga and vocalist Rebecca Harrison (both since 2021).
