    Louis Cennamo

    Louis Cennamo (born 5 March 1946, London) was bass guitarist with an early line up of The Herd, the original line-up of Renaissance and later Colosseum, Steamhammer, Armageddon and [a=Illusion (24)] (the reformed original Renaissance).


    He's credited as being the creator of the 'electric bowed bass guitar'.

    He also worked with Jim McCarty in Stairway. The song "Bullet", on the first Renaissance album, includes an extended unaccompanied bass solo by Cennamo. For a number of years Louis has played jazz with a variety of line-ups, most recently with Special Edition.
