King No-One

Portland Arms · Cambridge

Doors 7 The Portland 8 - 8.30 King No-One 9 A sharp jolt of northern electricity, King No-One have quietly but assuredly become one of the UK's most exhilarating bands on the rise. Formed in the underground scene of York, they cut their teeth busking on chilly city pavements. Relentless touring and a string of infectious singles have won them loyal fans across the country, while their open embrace of individuality and social consciousness has set them apart on the live circuit. Bringing together glistening guitar riffs, punchy rhythms, and poetic narratives, their sound is both urgent and heartfelt. Vocalist and lyricist Zach Lount, never shy of raw honesty, channels his lived experience into a performance that is as revealing as it is relatable. Alongside him guitar hero Joe Martin throws impossible shapes and bassist Rob Gration shows he is a cult rock star in the making. King No-One don’t just introduce themselves, they throw open the doors to their world. They insist you walk on in. Price includes a 50p venue levy

Personal Trainer

Portland Arms · Cambridge

Doors 5 The Earwurms 6 - 6.30 Personal Trainer 7 There's this funny Dutch phrase that goes "mijn ei kwijt kunnen", which quite clumsily translates to "unloading my egg"; it more or less means having an environment or activity where all your feelings, creativity and energy can unshackle as you see fit. For the past 10 years, Willem Smit's eggs found their baskets within Personal Trainer, the restlessly creative Dutch indie rock stalwarts who have gradually risen up from Amsterdam's grassroots scenes to touring the world as part of the roster of distinguished record label Bella Union. One of Smit's bigger decisions with the recording of their new album "Human Assholes" was to make the acoustic guitar the starting point. And even more importantly, pen the songs in a physical room with the rest of the band instead of cutting and pasting stuff behind a screen. Three years of non-stop touring brought Personal Trainer to a freeing realization: no song is ever final, and no show is ever the last. "I think this is where a large part of the band's spirit comes from. We don't have to handle things with kid gloves, we don't have to frantically search for our sound. As a result, the show was al...

The Wave Pictures

Portland Arms · Cambridge

It’s over twenty years since The Wave Pictures formed in Wymeswold, Leicestershire as teenagers. The trio of Jonny Helm (drums), Dave Tattersall (guitar & vocals) and Franic Rozycki (bass) have gone on to be one of the UK's most prolific and beloved bands. Fond of classic rock, jazz and blues, they are also one of the most accomplished, with Tattersall's guitar solos becoming the stuff of legend. They have collaborated with varying bright stars of the musical firmament, from their ongoing partnership with ex-Herman Dune member Stanley Brinks, or the very close partnership with Billy Childish for 2015's 'Great Big Flamingo Burning Moon'. The band have released 11 albums and played some of the most treasured festival stages around including Primavera Sound, Green Man and End of the Road. Price includes a 50p venue levy

Chloe Slater

Portland Arms · Cambridge

Chloe Slater is a 21-year-old singer-songwriter on the rise, carving her path in the realm of independent music. Born and raised in Bournemouth, she has been writing songs since she was 13 years old. After moving to Manchester for University, she found her voice in the effervescent open mic scene and has since been collaborating closely with writer/producer Jack Shute. Her recent debut EP, 'You Can’t Put A Price On Fun', encapsulates a grungy indie vibe, blending Chloe's distinctive style with meaningful lyricism.
