Ian McMillan Orchestra, Luke Carver Goss

A pulsing collection of songs, musically illuminated stories, poems and comedy - it’s like theatre for your ears. The orchestra is ring-mastered by composer Luke Carver Goss and whirlingly dervished by Bard of Barnsley, poet, comedian and broadcaster Ian McMillan. With verbal wit and brilliant musicianship, they present tales of family, longing and love; of iPods, first gigs and coming home to roost. When put together with Dylan Fowler, Clare Salaman, Nathan Thomson and Oliver Wilson-Dickson, this is British music at its most ingenious.
