Event Description

An extravagant evening of visual and sonic flamboyance, part
Japanese Future Beauty and Disruption: A Fashion Performance

Led by composer and artist Jamie McDermott, The Irrepressibles are a 10-piece ‘performance orchestra’ fusing classical orchestrations with pop melodies and soaring vocals. Using conceptual sets and a team of artists from film, dance, avant-garde costume and make-up, the collective bring McDermott’s songs to life, creating an extraordinary live spectacle and prompting The Independent to describe them as ‘one of Britain’s best kept secrets’.
