Prom 64: These Are The Breaks

Three Minute Epiphany

Available for over a year

We explore Prom 64: The Breaks. Prom 64 explores the iconic tracks that spawned breaking and formed the origins of hip hop. Performed by The Heritage Orchestra and conducted by Jules Buckley, 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’, UK turntable royalty DJ Switch, singer Alice Russell, and many more. On the show we hear from Jules and the Soul Mavericks crew just ahead of their performance at the Royal Albert Hall.
