Description

With their eclectic, danceable grooves and astute, hilarious put-downs of modern Britain, Getdown Services are steadily carving out a name for themselves. The new EP ?Crumbs? sees the duo weave slacker-rock, funk, indie and dance into an engrossingly entertaining sound brimming with infectious hooks and acerbic wit. Steadily building momentum over the past 18 months with balls-to-the-wall live performances, their highly lauded debut album ?Crisps', and prestigious shows with Pip Blom, Fat Dog, The Bug Club, Goldie Lookin' Chain, Donny Benet, and Personal Trainer, the band ready themselves for their biggest ever headline tour this autumn. Off the back of extensive BBC 6Music support from the likes of Craig Charles, Huw Stephens, and Cerys Matthews, and armed with an arsenal of red-hot hits, Getdown Services look set to gobble the world up, one crumb at a time.

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.
