Description:

Baroque Pop Orchestra 'The Irrepressible' are a revelation; their revolutionary pop music brings audiences to sell-out shows across London and to arts radio across the globe.

Biography:

Fresh from dazzling audiences at events across the country, think Busby Berkeley meets Klaus Nomi, including a well deserved & emotionally charged standing ovation at this year’s Latitude Festival, Jamie McDermott’s ten-piece theartical orchestra fantastical, The Irrepressibles are as unique and diverse as their sound. Songs slide effortlessly through Gershwin-styled verses, samba-riddled bridges to end in Baroque ornamentation. The resulting sound is a perfectly androgynous musical style, and one pivoted in real stories of metropolitan life and uncompromising passion. Their ‘performance art pop’ has been compared to artists such as Laurie Anderson, The Velvet underground and early David Bowie. Though this is where the comparison ends. The 'Irrepressibles’ sound is certainly like nothing heard before.
