Acclaimed record producers, Juliette Pochin and James Morgan will be abusing their prodigious musical talents with original comic songs, outlandish musical mashups and a filthily operatic sense of humour when they perform at Swindon Arts Centre on Thursday 1 May.
The pair have performed with the world's finest orchestras on the world’s greatest stages, they’ve soundtracked Hollywood and produced multi-platinum-selling records, but now faced with the double whammy of turning 50 and her daughter leaving for Uni, Juliette jumped out of an aeroplane and wrote a cabaret show – though not on the same day.
After premiering the show at Edinburgh Fringe, where they were Pick of the Fringe, this virtuosic duo - now regulars at London’s Crazy Coqs - are on tour.
Expect new comic/satirical songs on the joys of Prosecco to ditties about dogs, genre busting mashups with audience choirs and musical quizzes complete with chocolate prizes. And for the intellectual, they will take you through the entire History of Western Music in just 4 minutes (through the medium of Abba).
The duo have worked with everyone from Pete Townshend to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and from Sir Cliff Richard to Sir Bryn Terfel. Films include Dustin Hoffman’s Quartet, My Policeman starring Harry Styles and Operation Mincemeat starring Colin Firth and most recently work on Joy.
Juliette has sung with the UK’s leading orchestras, released a solo album with Sony BMG, performed with Sir Simon Rattle and Meatloaf and is a regular MD on BBC Radio 2 Piano Room. James has conducted at English National Opera, Glyndebourne and has even wielded his baton on I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue.
