The Irrepressibles is a ten-member orchestral ensemble led by composer and musician Jamie McDermott, described by The Sunday Times as "an enchantingly theatrical pop extravaganza.”[1] They have recorded two albums, Mirror Mirror and Nude, and a seven track CD/DVD package entitled From the Circus to the Sea. As a group, they have been compared to, and cited influences from, David Bowie, Kate Bush, Antony & The Johnsons and Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. "In This Shirt" was used in the soundtrack of the film Tengo ganas de ti (I Want You).[2]
