Port Erin (Album Launch) plus Beth Porter and the Availables plus Shelleyan Orphan
Port Erin
Port Erin formed in 2007 and have since become one the most hard working and respected bands the West Country has produced. This show is the launch party for their long-awaited second LP ‘Build Your Own Boat’ which was recorded at Real World Studios with producer Marco Migliari. Inspired by XTC, Talking Heads and Frank Zappa this unclassifiable band will be joined by guest musicians for what will surely be a night to remember.
‘Port Erin are a perfectly weighted three-piece dispensing precision rock full of space and dynamics with liquid, ringing guitar, fat authoritative bass and a superb drummer delivering delicious hi-hat.’ Venue Mag

Beth Porter and the Availables
Beth has recorded cello for over 70 sessions since she came to Bath in 2000 and has played for many artists including Peter Gabriel, Newton Faulkner, The Unthanks, Jackie Oates, Jim Moray and Kula Shaker. Beth creates a unique and refreshingly modern texture with a voice that will hold your attention right down to the last glorious note.
‘Beth Porter and Availables offer fabulously inventive folk with classical precision. We therefore label them - implication intended – an incredible string band.’ Venue Mag
