Four arms, four legs, two heads, wood, metal and plastic. JOHN. It?s a cryptic and unsearchable band name but it serves an important manifesto. Not only is it logical ? with the duo being comprised of John Newton (drums/lead vocals) and Johnny Healey (guitar/backing vocals) ? but it?s deliberately mundane, a response to the sensationalism that was often promoted through rock music when JOHN began playing together in 2013. ?It?s a bit like shooting yourself in the foot,? explains Newton, ?but it helps remind you that the creative drive is what?s central to the project. The sensational collateral is just cladding that can easily become a hindrance to your intentions.? Drawing inspiration from the DIY approach of independent enterprises such as Dischord Records, the pair formed in London?s East End opting to self-manage, self-release and self-distribute, adopting an ethos that?s served as an antidote to the reality of the day jobs required to exist in an ever-inflating city.
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.
