About This Event

Take the most infectious bit of a funk record that makes people dance, and repeat it. These are 鈥楾he Breaks鈥�! Witness the Heritage Orchestra, with Jules Buckley and special guests, slice up and reimagine these iconic tracks that spawned breaking and formed the origins of hiphop - a culture that has risen from a single moment on the sidewalks of the Bronx nearly 50 years ago.

The concert will feature historic and modern-classic breaking tunes from James Brown, Incredible Bongo Band, Babe Ruth, Herbaliser, Madcon, and Poets of Rhythm, alongside LIVE breaking crew 'Soul Mavericks鈥�, UK turntable royalty DJ Switch, singer Alice Russell, and many more.

There will be no interval
