MELTDOWN: UNKLE + Philip Sheppard

Kicking off Meltdown proceedings at the Royal Festival Hall will be a show from series curator James Lavelle and his multifaceted UNKLE collective, who will present an audiovisual and orchestral tour through their classy rock-meets-hip hop back catalogue. Cellist and composer Sheppard, who has frequently collaborated with UNKLE and recorded all 205 of the world's national anthems for the 2012 London Olympics, performs a support set.
