Description

Jess Silk
Guitarist, singer, and songwriter from the Black Country. Her shouty but melodic brand of folk/punk music often has her being likened to a female Frank Turner or Billy Bragg, and it gets people sitting up and listening. Armed only with an increasingly sticker-covered acoustic guitar and a distinctive, gravelly voice that many don`t expect.

Brad Dear
A raw and rowdy modern folk sound of foot-stomping anthems and sing-along choruses

William Harper
A singer/songwriter in the alternative folk scene. He has been active on the UK festival circuit since 2005 playing with 'festival favourites' Hobo Jones & The Junkyard Dogs at major festivals This is a chance to witness a totally different side to him as he goes solo and sings his own songs about various subjects from love to politics and a few well-chosen, reworked covers.

Description

For decades the Portland has been an essential part of the Cambridge live music scene welcoming local, national and international acts of all genres and backgrounds to play in our dedicated 200 capacity venue space.

Whether you are in a band and are looking for a venue to hold your own gig or are looking for a modern space to hold a meeting or gathering we can cater for groups of all sizes and requirements.

We have a full in house PA system and lighting with experienced sound technicians available to make sure your event sounds and looks great. The venue also has it’s own full-service bar, air conditioning and ‘green room’ space.

For smaller events we have 2 separate bars and a courtyard garden that can be hired independently.

Due to the age of the building the Portland is not easily accessible by wheel chair but we will endeavour to provide any help we can. Generally entry to the venue and public bar is no problem.
