Music, Mayhem and a Mezzo

Mashups, Mayhem and a Mezzo are acclaimed record producers, Morgan & Pochin by day. Watch them squander their musical talents by night in a festive hour of comic songs, mad musical mashups, piano acrobatics (without breaking sweat) and just a smattering of operatic high jinx, not to mention the little known ‘house’ version of Jingle Bells!

Multi instrumentalists James Morgan and Juliette Pochin began their careers in opera as conductor and mezzo soprano before going on to produce and arrange numerous chart topping albums, working with artists from Alfie Boe to Pete Townshend, Sir Cliff Richard to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra; their most recent album featuring an order of nuns broke into the top 5 of the album charts earlier this year.

They also work as composers for film, including Quartet and this year Operation Mincemeat and The Courier, and have arranged and orchestrated for Lang Lang, Hans Zimmer and John Williams (for the Classic Brits) as well as for artists as varied as Katy Melua and Nick Jonas.

They received a Point Of Light Award from the Prime Minister at Downing Street for their acclaimed Royal Albert Hall shows Symfunny 1 & 2 in aid of Parkinsons UK – featuring Jason Manford, Al Murray, Rebecca Ferguson, Sarah Brightman and many more.

With Warner Music they released Piano Hands, a project featuring piano duet versions reimagining iconic music, both pop and classical.
