an enchantingly theatrical pop extravaganza Robert Sandal, Sunday Times
The Irrepressibles are one of Britain's best-kept secrets - not for long Simon Price, Independent On Sunday
Led by composer and artist Jamie McDermott, The Irrepressibles are a 10-piece 'performance orchestra' that, through the power of their instruments, can transport and transfix, break moulds and collide worlds. Fusing European orchestration with pop melodies and soaring cathartic vocals, debut album 'Mirror Mirror' is a theatrical, playful, and emotionally passionate album.
